Double Hyacinths 
Double Hyacinths are not so highly thought of, nor so commonly used as 
Single Hyacinths. As a rule they have a smaller bulb than Single Hyacinths 
and yield a smaller spike. The range of colors is about the same as that of 
the Single Hyacinths, namely, white, pink, red, light and dark blue, yellow.

Prepared Hyacinths 
These so-called “Prepared Hyacinths” are lifted early from the fields and 
specially treated by very carefully controlled heating. This puts forward the 
bud development without injury and permits the grower to force the plants 
into bloom a few weeks earlier than would be possible otherwise. Instead of 
getting Hyacinths into bloom about the first of February, the use of Prepared 
Hyacinths permits one to have them about the middle of January.
