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; THEY ARE ALSO THE BEST ADAPTED 
FOR FORCING. 
The t DENOTES THE DOUBLE VARIETIES; THESE, WITH VERY FEW EXCEPTIONS, SUCCEED BEST 
IN THE OPEN GROUND OR IN POTS, BUT 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 required for pot culture, we send both single and dquble. 
JWT In accordance with our annual custom we have again rejected from our list several inferior 
kinds, and replaced them with varieties, the superior excellence of which has been established beyond 
doubt. 
OUR OWN SELECTION OF HYACINTHS FROM THE FOLLOWING SPLENDID 
COLLECTION, 
Embracing only such varieties as we know to be most worthy the attention of amateurs.
