SELECTION OP VARIETIES. 



Asa rule, we prefer the single varieties for forcing. But few of the double 

 ones produce a tine truss, the bells being uneavenly and thinly scattered along 

 the stem. For glasses, moss, or saucers, the single ones must be selected. With 

 the following sorts we have generally been successful : 



DOUBLE RED. Bouquet Royal, large, rosy bells; a good bloomer. 



Bouquet Tender, fine, deep red ; one of the best reds 

 Comptesse de La Costa, very fine dark rose, with good spike 



Fig. 28. Ornauieutal Hyacinth Glasses. Fi. 29. Tye's Triple Hyacinth Glass. 



Duke of Wellington, very fine pale rose ; the bells large and 



beautifully arranged, often giving two spikes. 

 Grootforst, pafe rose; good spike, with nicely shaped bells. 

 Regina Victoria, bright pink; large bells, and fine spike. 

 DOUBLE WHITE Anna Maria, fine, waxy white, with pink eye ; good formed 



bells and spike. 



Jenny Lind, blush white, with purple eye ; good bells ; com- 

 pact truss.
