FOR GARDEN AND HOME 
Hyacinths may be put to several uses: They may be grown 
in beds and borders, forced in pots or pans, or grown in water, 
and are very easy of cultivation. They possess a wonderful 
perfume, and there are many shades ranging through Pure 
White, Pale Blue, Lavender, Mauve, Purple, Red, Pink, 
Blush-White, and Yellow. Suitable alike for the amateur 
and professional grower.

EARLY ROMAN HYACINTHS 
The early Roman Hyacinth, with its graceful spike of 
fragrant bells, is one of the earliest of all winter-flowering 
bulbs. 
New-crop bulbs will be ready in September, when they 
may be planted in pots or pans of a compost containing two- 
thirds fibrous loam and one-third sand. They may also be 
placed in the more artistic ornamental bowls now available 
in any china store, using our prepared Bulb Fibre as a filler, 
which only needs to be kept continually moist, requires no 
additional fertilizer, and in which the bulbs thrive and bloom 
luxuriantly. Bulbs planted in September bloom in December.

PREPARED DUTCH HYACINTHS 
These bulbs are intended only for indoor planting and 
have, both in growing and harvesting, been submitted to a 
treatment that insures early ripening and leaves them in a 
condition to respond to intense forcing methods for early 
bloom. Planted in September, they bloom about the same 
time as the Roman Hyacinths, or soon after them.
