BARE & SUGDEN'S COMPENDIUM 



HYACINTHS. 



car The varieties thus * distinguislied are single ; their flower trusses are generally characterised by 

 being large, compact, and handsome, composed of a multitude of bells closely set on the stem, each bell 

 having but one circle of petals. These are the best adapted for forcing and for gi-owing in glasses, 

 vases, and other indoor elegancies. 



Those indicated thus t are double ; the flower spikes are not generally so large and compact as those 

 of the single varieties ; each bell consists of several circles of petals. These, with but very few excep- 

 tions, are neither suitable for forcing nor for growing in glasses.

POMPON, OR MINIATURE HYACINTHS. 



The Hyacinths we have enumei'ated \uider this heading are dwarf in their growth, pi'oducing 

 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, jardiflets, and any other elegant contrivance for the 

 drawing-room ; they may also be associated with Scilla Sibirica. 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 greeu cai-pet moss, or Lycopodium denticulatum.
