WOOD'S HY ACINTHS 
CULTURE IN POTS: 
Use any good soil, mixed with sand, potting so as to leave the top of the bulb even with the 
soil. For a single plant, use 4 or 5-inch pot, but the effect will be prettier if several bulbs are planted in a larger pot, and 
still more effective if all are of one color. Press the soil firmly around the bulbs, but do not pack it underneath. Sink the pot 
in the earth about 6 inches, covering with soil, choosing a location that is not too wet. For a succession of blooms, bring the 
first out about December ist, and every two weeks thereafter, until February 1st. Keep moderately warm and when they begin 
to bloom, give plenty of water and as much fresh air as possible. Too much heat dries up the flower and shortens the bloom- 
ing period. 
CULTURE IN OPEN GROUND: Any good garden soil will suit. If clay or very heavy, do not cover more than 3 inches; 
if light, from 4 to 6 inches. 
ANNE MARIE. A beautiful tall, pure pink spike, very early, 
easily forced. 
CITY OF HAARLEM.. A very beautiful, large, pure yellow, 
compact bloom of fine form and substance; the best yellow

blue, the immense large and broad truss is of great. beauty 
and substance; one of the best blue Hyacinths under culti- 
vation; recommended for all purposes.

did spike with large bells, excellent for late forcing or

Roman Hyacinths 
BLUE, WHITE AND PINK 
The flowers, while smaller than those of the Dutch Hya- 
cinths, are borne in much greater abundance, each producing 
about 6 graceful spikes of blooms, which makes it a most 
valuable sort for cutting. They can be forced very easily, 
and if planted early and brought into the house at intervals 
of about two weeks, will yield a succession of blooms from 
Christmas to Easter. 3 for 55c.; $1.75 per dozen; $12.00 
Dutch Iris 
The flowers of Dutch Iris are broader; the falls usually 
wider apart, and the lips larger than the Spanish type. They 
are about two weeks earlier, blooming right after the Cot- 
tage Tulips. They are wonderful for cutting, opening nicely 
even if cut in bud, and lasting a long time.
