Choice Named Single Ryagintrs. These grand Hyacinths hardly need special praise as every one Knows them to be the rnsot useful and popular of hardy bulbs, and universal favorites in the most extended application of the word. They are not only largely grown for forcing into flower during the dull, cheerless months of winter and early spring, but they are equa ly desirable for planting in beds or in the garden border. Hyacinths grown in glasses are elegant and suitable ornaments for the parlor or sitting-rcom, and can be flowered in this way with very little trouble. The single varieties are more generally used for this purpose, as they produce finer spikes of flowers than the double. Named Hyacinths should always be taken in place of mixed varieties for house culture either for pots or glasses, as the bulbs are always larger, and give finer spikes of flowers.
