HYACINTHS. 



In giving Orders, the Marginal Numbers will be sufficient, but the date of the 

 Catalogue must invariably be specified, as the Numbers are annually changed. 



The varieties with a * are single ; they have large, comffact, handsome flower trusses. 

 Those with a + are double, or semi-double ; with flower trusses, usually smaller and less compact than the 

 single varieties, and the individual bells, though larger and more conspicuous, less compactly arranged. 



BEDDING HYACINTHS, IN SEPARATE COLOURS. 



In the month of April a bed of Hyacinths in the flower garden is one of the most striking objects of floral 

 beauty that can be conceived of. Their massive flowers, and the striking contrasts of beautiful colours are ah" that 

 can be desired. Those we offer under this heading are specially selected, and consist of varieties best adapted 

 for effect where a distinct mass of one shade is the thing sought, or a systematic classification of colours is 

 aimed at, whether in geometrical lines, ribbons, or beds. For masses in the flower border, and to fill rustic 

 baskets, flower boxes, and vases, they can be strongly recommended. Where cut flowers are largely in demand, 

 these very inexpensive but fine Hyacinths should be cultivated largely, both under glass and out of doors.

BEDDING HYACINTHS IN MIXED SHADES. 



Where a general and effective display is required, apart from the systematic distribution of distinct shades of 

 colour, the following fine mixed varieties cannot fail to give the greatest satisfaction, and where large 

 quantities of cut flowers are in demand, they will be found of great value : —

POMPON, OR MINIATURE HYACINTHS. 



The varieties enumerated under this heading produce fine spikes of bloom, and may be grown in small 

 glasses, or small fancy pots ; also in masses of from six to eighteen in old china bowls, crystal dishes, jardinets, 

 and such other elegant contrivances as are suitable for the drawing-room. In these, they may be associated with 

 Scilla sibirica, Crocus, Snowdrops, Tulips, Narcissus Bulbocodium, N. nanus, Iris Persica, and other bulbs of 

 dwarf growth; and they will be found to succeed best planted in "our Prepared Cocoa Fibre and Charcoal" 

 {seep. 47), the surface being covered with nice green carpet moss, or Lycopodium denticulatum, and water given 

 liberally. 



In small flower beds, and young peoples' and children s "very own" gardens, these beautiful varieties of 

 Hyacinths, being exceedingly effective, are admirably adapted, and should be freely planted ; also where cut 

 flowers are in demand, they should be grown largely.
