FRENCH ROMAN HYACINTHS Not at all like the Dutch or Show Hyacinths, though they do not suffer by comparison. The slender stems, arching beneath their load of dainty poised bells, are the acrne of grace and elegance, while so many spikes are thrown up from each bulb that the whole plant appears a mass of blooms. French Roman Hyacinths are extra good for cutting, and so early that they bloom by Christmas, or before, remaining in perfection nearly a month in a cool room. They are extremely early and bloom in the garden with the Crocus. Two bulbs can be planted in a 4-inch pot, or three bulbs in a 5-inch pot. Single White—Every window should have several pots of these. Exquisite bells, white as the driven snow and pleasantly fragrant. Never fails to bloom. Extra large. Single Blue—Dark blue bells. About ten days later than the white with which-it forms a fine contrast. Single Light Pink—Elegant waxy bells of a pale shell- pink. Double Dark Pink—A beautiful, clear, bright rose. Spikes long and heavyv Very double. Price, 10c each; the 4 for 30c; any sort, 60c per do*. Mixed French Roman Hyacinths—All colors. 50c pep doz.; $3.75 per 100. DOUBLE RANUNCULUS These have long stems and are fine for cutting. For late soring bedding they have few equals, blooming freely out of doors after the Tulips are gone. Plant them three or four inches apart, claws downward. Lovely double flow- ers of pink, white, red, yellow, black, blush and varie- gated colors. Al- ways choose a shel- tered location. For house culture, plant several bulbs in a five-inch pot and treat as Hyacinths. They are charming winter bloomers. Giant French—All colors mixed. 8c §==each; 3 for 20c; 75c per doz.
