For Beds and Border culture. Those marked early are suitable for growing in pots and 

 glasses, and force very readily, but are not so early as the single varieties. 



Size of Bulbs. Some of the most beautiful varieties of Hyacinths', especially among the 

 double-flowering sorts, produce but small bulbs; but the small size of the bulb does not 

 diminish or increase the size of the spike or the beauty of the flowers.
