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.

Michell’s White Roman Hyacinths 
FRENCH ROMAN HYACINTHS 
French Roman Hyacinths afford a continuous supply of 
bloom from early Winter until late in Spring if planted in succes¬ 
sion. 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 Novem¬ 
ber 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.
