POMPON, OR MINIATURE HYACINTHS. 
The varieties 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 sibirica, Crocus, Snowdrops, Tulips, Narcissus bulbocodium, 
and other bulbs. In such articles they will be found to succeed best m “ our Prepared Cocoa Fibre and 
Charcoal ” {see p. 33), and the surface covered with nice green carpet moss, or Lycopodium denticulatum.

EARLY FLOWERING DWARF WHITE ROMAN HYACINTHS. 
These, if planted early in September, and gently forced, wall 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. 6d. per dozen. 
NAMED HYACINTHS FOR GLASSES OR POT CULTURE IN-DOORS. 
tst The * INDICATES THE varieties best adapted for growing in the numerous elegant 
CONTRIVANCES FOR THE CULTURE OF THE HYACINTH; THEY ARE ALSO THE BEST ADA1TED FOR 
FORCING. IT MAY NOT BE OUT OF PLACE TO REMARK HERE, THAT THOUGH THE HYACINTH MAY BE 
FORCED, IT IS SELDOM THAT FINE FLOWERS ARE PRODUCED UNLES8 MIE FORCING IS OF A VERY 
GENTLE CHARACTER, AND THIS SHOULD NEVER BE ATTEMPTED TILL THE POTS ARE FULL OF ROOTS. 
The t DENOTES THE DOUBLE VARIETIES; THESE, WITH VERY FEW EXCEPTIONS, SHOULD NOT 
BE GROWN IN GLASSES; THEY 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 double. 
sir In accordance with our annual custom we have 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 tho attention of amateurs.
