'^- :\\i, THESE grand Hyacinths hardly need special praise, as every one knows them to be the most useful and popular of hardy bulbs, and universal favorites in the most extended application of the word. They are not only largly grown for forcing into flower during the dull cheerless months of winter and early spring, but they are equally desirable for planting in beds or in the garden border. Hyacinths grown in glasses are elegant and suitable ornaments for the parlor or sitting-room, and can be flowered in this way with very little trouble. The single varieties are more generally used for this purpose. The varieties prefixed * are the earliest flowering.
