Early White Roman Hyacinths 
There are few subjects more useful 
than the Roman Hyacinth for bou- 
quets, corsage flowers, designs and 
floral work generally, and a good 
supply is indi-pensable to those who 
have a steady retail trade. While it 
is true that in some instances large 
batches grown and sold on the open 
market at wholesale have not paid 
the grower in recent years, yet our 
low prices this season should make 
them profitable even for this pur- 
pose.
