NAMED HYACINTHS SPECIALLY SELECTED FOE GROWING IN JARDINETS AND 
GLASSES, AND FOR POT CULTURE. 
I 5^* ^* HB * INDICATES those best adapted for growing in the numerous elegant con- 
trivances USED FOR THE CULTURE OF THE HYACINTH; THEY ARE ALSO THE BEST SUITED FOR 
n a rr'PTnl AN ° GBNBIlAL CULTIVATION IN-DOORS. IT MAY NOT BE OUT OF PLACE TO REMARK, AS A 
CAUTION, THAT THOUGH THE HYACINTH MAY BE FORCED, IT IS SELDOM THAT REALLY FINE FLOWERS 
ARE PRODUCED UNLESS THE FORCING IS OF A VERY GENTLE CHARACTER, AND SHOULD NOT BE 
ATTEMPTED TILL THE POTS ARE PULL OF ROOTS, AND THE FLOWER SPIKE IS MAKING ITS APPEARANCE. 
The f 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 NUMEROUS 
ELEGANT CONTRIVANCES RECOMMENDED FOR THE CULTIVATION OF THIS FAVOURITE FLOWER. 
The varieties recommended for Exhibition purposes are marked “ Ex.” 
, ,^ n ^ufirmation of the opinion we have annually expressed of the general superiority of single over 
double Hyacinths, we may again state that the finest Hyacinths exhibited at the Metropolitan and Pro- 
vincial Flower Shows in Spring were single varieties ; therefore, when the selection is left to us, and the 
bulbs are to be grown in glasses, jardinets, and the like, we send single varieties; but if they are required 
tor pot culture, we send single and a proportion of double varieties. 
In accordance with our annual custom we have added to our list a few sorts of superior merit, 
and omitted others of less excellence. 
OUR OWN SELECTION OF HYACINTHS FROM THE FOLLOWING SPLENDID 
COLLECTION,
