 THE MANY ARTIFICIAL MODKS OP 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 MetronoUtan 

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

 and the bulbs are to be gi-ovvn in glasses, jardinets, and the like, to send single varieties only, but if they 

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



S^if In accordance with our annual custom we have again rejected from our list several inferior 

 kinds, and replaced them with varieties, the suiserior excellence of which has been escablished beyond 

 doubt.
