THE BLUE BOOK OF BULBS 
Miniature or Dutch-Roman Hyacinths 
The fifth and sixth sizes, commonly known as Miniature 
Hyacinths, are unusually handsome for growing in pots. They 
come into flower a little earlier, and the bells are looser and more 
graceful. .Miniature Hyacinths will he furnished in any variety 
of the preceding list marked with an asterisk, at 40 per cent less 
than the prices quoted for Cream Quality bulbs. 
Roman Hyacinths 
Roman Hyacinths are invaluable for early forcing, and if 
potted late in August or early in September, and given a chance 
to make plenty of root-growth, they may be had in bloom by 
the end of November. The spikes and bells are smaller than 
those of the Dutch Hyacinths, but are far more graceful. The 
blue and pink Romans are so inferior to the white that I do not 
recommend them, though I will quote prices on them, if desired. 
Koman Hyacinths are not suited to outdoor planting.
