EARLY WHITE 
ROMAN 
HYACINTHS. 
Roman Hya¬ 
cinths are popular 
on account of their 
earliness, for their 
abundance of sweetly 
perfumed flowers, 
and their value for 
decoration in pots, 
baskets, or vases at 
seasons when white 
flowers are scarce. 
To flower them by 
Christmas start 
Bulbs early in Sept.

r P i ? e ^ n P°. ttin g Hyacinths early in September if a good and continuous succession is required, 
e best soil is a friable loam with a little leaf mould and old manure. A 4-inch pot will take one 
u nicely and larger sizes from three to five bulbs. Place the bulb, with a little silver sand under 
it, m the centre, so that when firmly planted in the soil the top will just be exposed. When potting 
is completed, water thoroughly and place the pots on a level bottom of coal ashes in a frame or other 
open space, put an inverted pot over the bulb, and cover the whole to a depth of 6 to 8 inches with 
as es, cocoanut fibre, or decayed leaves, and there let them remain. If placed in such a position 
epnnmg of September, in six to eight weeks the pots will be getting crammed with roots, and 
until that time it will be useless to try and force them to produce good flowers.
