PETER HENDERSON & CO., NEW YORK.— THESE grand Hyacinths hardly need special praise, as every one knows thrra 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 largely grown for forcing into flower during: the dull, cheerless o( 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 lor 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 pur- pose, as they produce finer spikes of flowers than the double. Double-flowering Hyacinths at one time commanded much higher prices, and were preferred to Single ones, but ;r years the current of fashion has been in favor of the Singles for there can hardly be a doubt that the latter produce far more graceful and beautiful spikes. 1 he individual Veils of the Double are large and beautiful, but there are usually fewer of them borne on the spike ; for pot culture and open ground planting, however, Double Hyacinths are very satisfactory.
