NEW FLORAL GUIDE, AUTUMN, 1917 
Early-Flowering Roman Hyacinths 
ROMAN HYACINTHS are very desirable for 
winter flowering in the house and begin to 
bloom very quickly. The Bulbs are hardy 
and can be planted in the open ground if 
given slight protection. The delicious per¬ 
fume and profusion of bloom have made 
these Hyacinths very popular. 
Price, 6 cts. each, 15 cts. for 3, 50 cts. per doz., $4 
per 100, postpaid. 
On account of unsettled conditions in Europe the crop 
of Roman Hyacinths is likely to be short and the bulbs 
smaller than usual. We wish, however, to assure our 
customers that we will supply the best bulbs obtainable.

bloomer; very beautiful and sweet. 
Single Blush-White. Rich creamy white,

For three years I have grown the famous White

one of the most cherished of all flowers.—M rs. J. C.,

Gentlemen: I bought of you last fall Hyacinths for 
forcing. Each one sent up two large stalks of beauti- 
*/ful bloom, which amazed us. They were the most sat¬ 
isfactory plants I ever had.—M rs. J. S. T., Skillman, 
New Jersey.
