HYACINTHS FOR EARLY FORCING. 
EARLY WHITE ROMAN HYACINTHS. 
Selected French-grown Bulbs. 
Early Roman Hyacinths grown in bowl of Barr’s 
Peat-Fibre Mixture. 
This charming little Hyacinth is of great value for early 
forcing, and may be had in bloom during November, 
December, and January by successful plantings. Several 
bulbs in a pot make a charming Winter decoration for the 
greenhouse or sitting-room, while to cut for bouquets and 
vases the graceful spikes of sweet-scented blooms are highly 
prized. The Roman Hyacinth lends itself readily to culture 
in bowls of our Peat fibre, Shell, and Charcoal Mixture. 
(For Cultural directions seepage 3.) 
We do not stock the smaller size bulbs offered by some firms 
at lower prices than quoted below, as they give so few spikes

indoors after the White Roman Hyacinths are over. We offer them in place of the White, Blue and 
Rose-coloured Italian Hyacinths, which for some years past have proved so unsatisfactory, producing 
a great abundance of foliage and very poor flowers.
