Roman Hyacinth, Virginia 
FRENCH ROMAN 
HYACINTHS 
French Roman Hyacinths afford a continuous 
supply of bloom from early winter until late in 
spring if planted in succession. They are very 
fragrant. 
Easily grown in pots or pans, and 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 November or December, and a con¬ 
tinuous 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.

OLD ENGLISH BULB TROWEL 
Heart-shaped blade, 4% inches wide, for 
planting out bulbs and plants. Price, $1.00 (by 
Parcel Post, $1.10). 
This 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 green¬ 
houses. 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 introductions in recent years.

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 anywhere about the house, in the 
living-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. Qt., 15c.; 45c. for 4 qts.; pk., 75c.; $1.25 per 
J^bus.; bus., $2.00.
