 hyacinths are to the ordinary ones. Evopy child should have a dozen for its

once : —

 to 3s. per dozen, or a guinea a hundred. 



2147. Polyanthus and Narcissus. — These rank only second to the hyacinth 

 for decorative purposes, and totally eclipse it in richness of perfume. They 

 require similar culture to the hyacinths, and will flower in water, sand, moss, 

 &c., but do best in soil. The Double Roman is the earliest, and may easily be 

 had in flower at Christmas if potted in September. The following good varie- 

 ties can be purchased from 4:d. to dd. each, or from 3s. to 8s. per dozen ; or
