BLUE ROMAN HYACINTH 
“VIRGINIA” 
This Blue Roman Hyacinth, which has been successfully grown for 
the last few years, comes from France. It is a cross between the Dutch 
Hyacinth, Captain Boynton, which is one of the finest of porcelain blues, 
and one of the strongest growers and the White French Hyacinth, from 
which it receives its daintiness and earliness of bloom. Virginia has much 
larger bells and the stem is longer than the White Roman. It will produce 
two or three perfect flower spikes to the bulb; these do not appear 
together, but are successive in their bloom, thereby supplying flowers from 
the same planting over a long period of time. 
Virginia will bloom for Christmas, coming at a time when flowers 
are scarcest in the greenhouses. If not required at that time, it may be 
grown cool and flowered when wanted. It is impossible to describe or say 
too much about this Hyacinth. We feel it is really one of the finest intro¬ 
ductions in recent years.

The Hyacinths I got of you last Fall were perfectly magnificent 
this Spring. I hope to get more this Fall.

FRENCH ROMAN HYACINTHS 
French Roman Hyacinths afford a continuous 
supply of bloom from early Winter until late in 
Spring if planted in succession. They are very 
fragrant. 
Easily grown in pots or pans; if bulbs are potted 
in September, the pots plunged in the open ground 
for a month, until well rooted, and then brought in 
the house, they can be had in flower in November or 
December, and a continuous supply of flowers may 
be had by bringing in a few pots or pans at intervals 
of about 2 weeks. The bulbs should be planted quite 
close together, a 6-inch pot or pan will be sufficiently 
large for six bulbs. They are not hardy and are not 
suitable for outdoor planting.

MICHELL’S PREPARED BULB FIBRE 
The ideal material in which to grow bulbs, such as Roman 
Hyacinths, Dutch Hyacinths, Narcissus, Tulips, etc., using 
vases, crocks, or other receptacles, without drainage. The 
advantage of this system is that the vases can be placed any¬ 
where about the house, in the drawing room, or dining room, 
without any fear of water or soil coming through the base of the 
pots. The bulbs are potted the same way as in ordinary soil, 
after which they require little attention, except to keep the 
material moist.
