POMPON OR MINIATURE HYACINTHS. 
The Pompon Hyacinth produces neat spikes of bloom, and may be grown in small glasses, fancy pots, 
old china bowls, crystal dishes, jardinets, and other elegant contrivances ; alone, or associated with the bright 
blue Scilla sibirica, Crocus, Snowdrops, Tulips, Dwarf Narcissus, the violet scented Iris Persica, the beautiful 
sweet scented Iris reticulata, and any other early flowering bulbs of dwarf growth ; so cultivated, these bulbs 
do best planted in “ B. & S.’s Prepared Cocoa Fibre and Charcoal” (for which see p. 47), covering the surface 
with fresh green carpet moss (see p. 47). 
In small flower beds, and children's gardens , the Pompon Hyacinth, Scilla sibirica, Spring Snowflake, 
Dwarf Narcissus, Dog’s Tooth Violets, Anemone fulgens, Dwarf Tulips, .Triteleias, Crocus, Iris reticulata, 
Grape Hyacinths, Hepaticas, Iris Persica, Jonquils, Sisyrinchium grandiflorum, Snowdrops, and the Double 
Saxifraga granulata, make an exceedingly decorative display, and maintain a succession of flowers during the 
months of Spring ; such gardens should be edged with small growing Sempervivums.
