Daniels’ Choice Named Hyacinths. 
The following list, which has been carefully revised, includes all the finest sorts 
noted by us during our last visit to the Dutch Bulb Grounds, besides the best of the fine 
Varieties shown at the Royal Horticultural Society’s and other great Exhibitions during the 
last Spring, and we have much confidence in recommending them as the best that can be 
grown for Exhibition and decorative purposes. 
D denotes double, S single flowered varieties. 
GENERAL LIST.-Section I. 
* It is supposed by many of the inexperienced that the lest 
Hyacinths are those which produce double flowers ; this is by 
no means correct, there be iny many more of the single varieties 
producinq fine , free, and brilliant spikes of bloom than of 
the double.
