POMPON HYACINTHS These are Hyacinths with comparatively small bulbs. They are splendid for either garden or pots, while for cutting they are the best of all. Every hue, shade and color is found among them; the flowers are large and wax-like, and the spikes airy and graceful. Mixed Pompon Hyacinths—All colors. Double and single. 70c per doz.; $5.00 per 100; $45.00 per 1000. ROMAN HYACINTHS Isot 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 acme of grace and elegance, while so many spikes are thrown up from each bulb that the whole plant appears a mass of blooms. Roman Hyacinths are extra good for cutting, and so early that they bloom by Christmas or before, remaining in perfection nearly a month, if the room is not kept too warm. They are ex- tremely early and bloom in the garden with the Crocus. One bulb can be planted in a 4-inch pot, or three bulbs in a 5-inch pot. The bulbs we offer are extra large. Single White — Every window should have several pots of these. Exquisite bells, white as the driven snow and pleasantly fra- grant. Never fails to bloom. Ex- tra large bulbs. Double Dark Pink—A beautiful, clear, bright rose. Spikes long and heavy. Very double. Price—Extra large bulbs, 15c each; 4 for 50c; 12 for $1.40; 100 for SI 0.00. DUTCH ROMANS op Early Flowering Dutch Hyacinths These are grown under glass, ripened off in April and May to make them bloom by Christmas. This they are sure to do, so they are just as early as the French Romans and have the advantage of possess- ing all shades of color and heavy spikes. We are sure that they Will give immense satisfaction, and rec- ommend them highly. 3 for 40c; G for 75C; 12 for $1.25.
