POMPON, OR MINIATURE HYACINTHS. 



The Hyacinths we have enumerated under this heading are dwarf in their growth, producing neat 

 compact spikes of bloom, and may be grown in very small glasses, or small fancy pots ; also in masses of 

 from six to eighteen in old china, crystal dishes, jardinets, and any other elegant contrivance for the 

 drawing-room ; they may also be associated -with Scilla Siberica, Crocus, Snowdrops, Tulips, Narcissus 

 Bulbocodium, and other bulbs. In such articles they will be found to succeed best in " our Prepared Cocoa 

 Fibre and Charcoal," and the surface covered with nice green carpet moss, or Lycopodium denticulatum. 



105 Early Flowering Dwarf White Roman Hyacinths ; these, if planted early in September, and gently 



forced, will be in bloom in November ; they should be grown in groups of from 3 to 12, in 4 to 

 7 inch pots ; 25s. per 100 ; 3s. 6d. per dozen.
