Marshall’s French Roman Hyacinths 
(Ready for Delivery in August.) 
Tlie ilovvors are dcliglitfiilly fragaiit, and eacli bulb will tlirow up Llirce to four spikes. For 
forcing, three or four bulbs are generally planted in a pot. The pots must be ke^jt in a cool and 
dark place until they 1111 with roots, when the flower-spikes can be rapidly developed by exposure to 
light and moderate heat. They are very easily grown and extremely early; and, by making succes¬ 
sive plantings, they may be had in flower all through the Winter.

Tulips. 
ITilips for l)C(lding are the most popular and effective of all hardy bulbous plants. In our 
descriptions we give the color and average height to which they grow. For pot culture and 
forcing for Winter cut flowers, they are invaluable. 
The cultural directions given for Hyacinths on page 1 are equally applicable to Tulips, 
except that the bulbs, being smaller, must not be planted quite so deej). Four inches to the bottom 
of the bulb is deep enough, and a distance of 5 to 6 inches between the bulbs is sufficient. TlTey 
may be planted in October and November, before the ground freezes. For pot culture, a compost 
of two t)arts loam to one part light manure, with some sand intermixed, is suitable. From three 
to five bulbs, according to size, in a 5-ineh pot, are very effective. The pots should be buried 
until the bull)s are well rooted in the manner recommended for Hyacinths. 
Marshall’s Selected Double Tulips 
While not equal to the single in brilliancy, double varieties last much longer in bloom. The 
early varieties, such as Murillo, Imperator, Eubrorum,’and the Touruesols, are excellent for forcing. 
The latter sorts will not bear forcing, but are very effective in lieds or borders.
