Selection of Varieties. 
As a rule, we prefer the single varieties for forcing. But few of the double 
ones produce a tine truss, the bells being uneavenly and thinly scattered along 
the stem. For glasses, moss, or saucers, the single ones must be selected. With 
the following sorts we have generally been successful : 
Double Red. — Bouquet Boyal, large, rosy bells; a good bloomer. 
Bouquet Tender, fine, deep red ; one of the best reds 
Comptesse de La Costa, very fine dark rose, with good spike 
Pig. 28.— Ornamental Hyacinth Glasses. Fig. 29.— Tye's Triple Hyacintli Glags. 
Dul-e of Wellington, very fine pale rose ; the bells large and 
beautifully arranged, often giving two spikes. 
Groofforst, pale rose; good spike, with nicely shaped bells. 
Begina Vic'oria, bright pink; large bells, and fine spike. 
Double White — Anna Maria, fine, waxy white, with pink eye ; good formed 
bells and spike. 
Jenny Lind, blush white, with purple eye ; good bells ; com- 
pact truss.
