EARLY ROMAN HYACINTHS. 
The earliest of all the Hyacinths; they are among the few 
flowers which may be had in bloom at Christmas, and by a succes¬ 
sion of plantings can be had in flower throughout the winter. 
They are extensively used by florists as they are so valuable for 
cutting purposes. The flowers, which are smaller than the ordi¬ 
nary Hyacinth, are produced in great profusion, each bulb throw¬ 
ing up two to four spikes of delicately perfumed flowers, which if 
kept in a cool room will last perfect for weeks. We highly recom¬ 
mend this variety to our friends for house culture. Cultivation is 
the same as for other Hyacinths in pots; the effect is increased by 
planting two or three bulbs in a five inch pot. Our Roman Hya¬ 
cinths are the very best selected French stock.

Roman Hyacinth. 
WHITE ITALIAN HYACINTHS. 
A valuable variety, which deserves to be better known. Extensively used by florists around Paris, as the pro¬ 
fusion of bloom, fragrance and graceful spikes render them very popular for cutting purposes. They bloom very 
quickly after being potted. 5 cents each; 50 cents per dozen; $3.75 per 100.
