HYACINTHS. 
^ giving Orders the Marginal Numbers will be sufficient, hit the date of the 
Catalogue must invariably be specified, as the Numbers are annually changed. 
•ST The varieties thus * distinguished are single ; their flower trusses are generally larger, more 
compact, and more handsome than those of the double varieties. 
Those indicated thus f are double ; the flower trusses are not usually so large and compact as are 
the single varieties ; but the bells are frequently larger and individually more conspicuous. 
PAXTONIAN OUT-DOOR HYACINTHS, IN DISTINCT COLOURS. 
These moderately priced and exceedingly handsome varieties of Hyacinths, cannot be too strongly re- 
commended for the decoration of the Spring Flower Garden in the systematic distribution of colours in 
BEDS, RIBBONS, RUSTIC BASKETS ON LAWNS, FLOWER BOXES, VASES, &C.

POMPON, OR MINIATURE HYACINTHS. 
The varieties enumerated under this heading produce 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 
bowls, crystal dishes, jardinets, and any other elegant contrivance suitable for the drawing-room ; they 
may also be associated with Scilla sibirica, Crocus, Snowdrops, Tulips, Narcissus bulbocodium, N. nana, 
Iris Persica, and other bulbs of dwarf growth. In such articles they will be found to succeed best in 
“ our Prepared Cocoa Fibre and Charcoal ” (see p. 39), the surface being covered with nice green carpet 
moss, or Lycopodium denticulatum.

DWARF WHITE ROMAN HYACINTHS FOR EARLY FORCING. 
Plant these early in September, when well rooted force them gently, and they will bloom in 
November. A few successional plantings should be made of these to maintain a display till the 
ordinary Hyacinths come in. ( The Paper white and Double Roman Narcissus , see p. 11, similarly 
treated will bloom at the same time as the Roman Hyacinth.) They should be grown in groups of 
from 3 to 12, in 4 to 7 inch pots ; 25s. per 100 ; 3s. 6d. per dozen.
