BARR & SUGDEN’S COMPENDIUM 
HYACINTHS. 
tr The varieties thus * distinguished 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. 
Those indicated thus f are double ; the flower spikes are not generally so large and compact as those 
of the single varieties, but are more massive in appearance ; each bell consists of several circles of petals.

POMPON, OR MINIATURE HYACINTHS. 
The Hyacinths we have enumerated under this heading are dwarf in their growth, producing neat 
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, jardinets, and any other elegant contrivance for the 
drawing-room ; they may also be associated with Scilla Siberica, Crocus, Snowdrops, Tulips, Narcissus 
Bulhocodium, 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 green carpet moss, or Lycopodium dcnticulatum. 
105 Early Flowering Dwarf White Roman Hyacinths ; these, if planted early in September, and gently 
forced, will 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. 6 d. per dozen.
