ROMAN HYACINTHS 
The flowers aie delightfully fragrant, and each bulb will throw up from three to 
four spikes. For forcing, three or four bulbs are generally planted in a pot. The pots 
must be kept in a cool and dark place until they fill 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 successive plantings, they 
may be had in flower all through the Winter.

HYACINTHS FOR BEDDING AND FORCING 
Outdoor Culture. — The 
bulbs may be planted any time 
from October to December—the 
earlier the better. They suc¬ 
ceed in any good, well-drained 
garden soil. Set the bulbs so 
that the tops will be 3 or 4 
inches below the surface and 
6 to 10 inches apart. Before 
very severe weather comes on, 
cover the beds with straw, 
leaves or manure, to protect 
them from the frost, but care 
should be taken that this cov¬ 
ering is not too thick, as the 
bulbs are as likely to be in¬ 
jured by being kept too warm 
as by freezing; this should be 
removed in March, or when 
danger from hard frost is past. 
These bulbs have been speci¬ 
ally selected in Holland for us 
and are equally suited for 
either bedding or forcing. They 
will all throw large uniform 
spikes of flowers, and cannot 
fail to give universal satisfac¬ 
tion.
