HY ACINTHS--One of the Earliest Spring Flowers 
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 1st, 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 blooming 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. Protect with manure, 
leaves or coarse litter to prevent freezing. 
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 Hyacinth for bedding and pots. 
DELET BLUE. Magnificent porcelain blue variety, strong 
spike with fleshy large bells. Very attractive color. 
Hasily forced. 
KING OF THE BLUES. A very dark blue, bearing a splen- 
did spike with large bells; excellent for lete forcing or 
bedding. 
LA VICTOIRE. Brilliant rose-crimson, when forced a fine 
dark pink. This variety grows a large spike of perfect 
form and is unsurpassed for all purposes. 
WINNOCENCE. Pure white, fine large truss, produced on 
a strong stem with large bells of great beauty and sub- 
stance; the best white Hyacinth for massive bedding 
and forcing. 
MARCONI. Bright deep rose, faintly shaded rosy white, 
producing a large broad spike, borne on a stiff stem, par- 
ticularly good for bedding. 
OSTARA. Pure blue all over; lightly tinted violet inside; 
easy and excellent Christmas forcer; good spike. 
PERLE BRILLIANTE. A very fine lavender-blue, produces 
large, broad spike on stiff stem; good form. 
PINK PEARL. One of the finest new clear pink Hyacinths. 
It is a valuable improvement of Gertrude, a large spike 
with closely set bells of a very distinct rose-pink; a splen- 
did bedder and a very good one for indoors. 
The above Hyacinths may be had in two sizes:

ROMAN HYACINTHS

ing 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.
