Dutch Roman or Miniature Hyacinths 
Choice Unnamed Hyacinths for Bedding 
and Forcing 
Though without names, these are sound flowering bulbs 
of desirable varieties that attain about an equal height 
and bloom at the same time. They are likely to flower 
satisfactorily in either pots or beds and should not be 
confounded with the cheap mixtures frequently offered.

Roman Hyacinths 
These early flowering and easily forced bulbs are fa¬ 
vorites with florists, who find a ready market for the 
flowers in all the larger cities. Successive plantings can 
be made and a continuance of bloom obtained from 
November to May. The method is to place the bulbs 
thickly together in pots or shallow boxes; place these in 
a cold frame or outhouse, covering them up so they 
cannot get severely frozen. In four or five weeks they 
may be brought in to force, which should be done grad¬ 
ually, beginning with a temperature of 50 degrees and 
advancing to 70 degrees. A succession of flowers is ob¬ 
tained by bringing in the boxes as occasion demands. 
The flowers of Roman Hyacinths, rose, white and blue, 
are smaller than those of the Dutch Hyacinth, but each 
bulh usually produces from two to three spikes.
