 spikes of bloom, and may be grown in very small glasses, or small fancy pots ; also in masses of from si.K

EARLY FLOWERING DWARF WHITE ROMAN HYACINTHS. 



150 These, if planted early in September, and gently forced, -noil 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. 6c?. per dozen. 



NAMED HYACINTHS FOR GLASSES OR POT CULTURE IN-DOORS. 



The * INDICATES THE VARIETIES BEST ADAPTED FOR GROWING IN THE NUMEROUS ELEGANT 

 CONTRIVANCES FOR THE CULTURE OF THE HYACINTH; THEY ARE ALSO THE BEST ADAPTED FOR 

 FORCING. It MAY NOT BE OUT OF PLACE TO REMARK HERE, THAT THOUGH THE HYACINTH MAY BE 

 FORCED, IT IS SELDOM THAT FINE FLOWERS ARE PRODUCED UNLESS THE FORCING IS OF A VERY 

 GENTLE CHARACTER, AND THIS SHOULD NEVER BE ATTEMPTED TILL THE POTS ARE FULL OF ROOTS. 



The t DENOTES THE DOUBLE VARIETIES ; THESE, WITH VERY FEW EXCEPTIONS, SHOULD NOT 

 BE GROWN IN GLASSES; THEY CANNOT BE RECOMMENDED FOR 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 confirmation of the opinion we have annually expressed of the general superiority of single over 

 double Hyacinths, we may state that the finest Hyacinths exhibited 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 only, but if they 

 are requh-ed for pot culture, we send both single and double. 



In accordance with our annual custom we have rejected from our list several infei-ior kinds, 

 and replaced them with varieties, the superior excellence of wluch has been established beyond doubt. 



OUR OWN SELECTION OF HYACINTHS FROM THE FOLLOWING SPLENDID 



COLLECTION, 



Kmbraclng only such varieties as we know to ba most worthy the attention of amateurs.
