NAMED HYACINTHS FOR GLASS OR POT CULTURE IN-DOORS. 



The * INDICATES THE VARIETIES WHICH ARE BEST ADAPTED FOR GROWING IN THE NUMEROUS 

 ELEGANT CONTRIVANCES FOR THE CULTURE OF THE HYACINTH ; THEV ARE ALSO THE BEST ADAPTED 

 FOR VERY EARLY FORCING. 



The t DENOTES THE DOUBLE VARIETIES; THESE SUCCEED ADMIRABLY WHEN CULTIVATED IN 

 THE OPEN GROUND OR IN POTS, BUT CANNOT BE RECOMMENDED FOR EARLY FORCING, OR FOR ANY 

 OF THE MANY ARTIFICIAL MODES OF CULTIVATING THIS FAVOURITE FLOWER. 



The most suitable varieties for Exhibition purposes are marked " Ex." 



In confii-mation of the opinion we have annually expressed of the general superiority of single over 

 double Hyacinths, we may state that the finest varieties exliibited last Spring at both the Metropolitan 

 and Provincial Flower Shows were single ; it is therefore our practice, when the selection is left to us, 

 and the bulbs are to be grown in glasses, jardinets, and the like, to send single varieties onl}', but if they 

 are required for pot culture, we send both single and double. 



K^' In accordance with our annual custom we have again rejected from our list several inferior 

 kinds, and replaced them Avith varieties, the superior excellence of which has been established beyond 

 doubt.
