Not at all lilce the Dutch or Show Hyacinths, though they do not 
suffer by comparison. The slender stems, arching beneath their load 
of dainty noised bolls, are the acme of grace ami elegance, while so 
many spikes are thrown up from each,bulb that the whole plant ,ap¬ 
pears a mass of blooms. Roman Hyacinths are extra good for cutting, 
and so early that they bloom by Christmas, or before, remaining in 
perfection nearly a month if the room isnot kept too warm. They are 
extremely early and bloom in the garden with the Crocus. T he bulbs 
can bo planted in a 4 -inch pot. or 3 bulbs in a 5-inch pot- The bulbs we 
offer are extra large. , „

A distinct species of Hyacinth that we urge our custom¬ 
ers to plant largely. It resembles the Grape Hyacinth more 
than any other, yet it is very distinct, its spikes being much 
longer and looser and the bells wider and longer in every 
wav. It is also equally adapted to garden or pots, producing 
a' mass of bloom that is very striking and beautiful. Shou d 
be planted in masses to produce the best effect. 
bulbs may be planted in a 5-inch pot. and wdl nged no mme
