Henderson of Vaughan's Seed Store, Chicago, in a paper read before the Wisconsin State Horticultural So- ciety, gave the following list of named hyacinths: Charles Dickens (pink), beautiful pink, fine formed large spike. This is decidedly one of the finest pink hyacinths. It forces easily and always gives satis- faction. Those who know its value use it largely. General Pelissier. brilliant carmine, compact spike, very early and easy forcer. This is one of the best and finest scar- let hyacinths for forcing. Gertrude, rosy pink, compact spike and large bulb. A first-class forcing va- riety, profitable for market work. Being of erect habit, it is also excellent for bedding. Gigantea, fine blush pink, large com- pact spike. The name indicates its char- acter, as it has a giant spike. Is an excellent forcer, and well known among florists as a profitable variety for forc- ing for market. Roi dcs Beiges is one of the finest scarlet hyacinths; keeps its color longer than any other scarlet hyacinth. Lord Macaulay. deep carmine pink with white eye. the brightest of the dark reds. Extra large and compact spike, a splendid hyacinth. It is found in every collection for exhibition, a proof of its great value. Moreno, extra fine pink, ver.v large spike and bells, forces easily. It is a splendid h.vacinth and found in every collection for exhibition. We highly recommend this variety for growing in large quantities for forcing. Baroness Van Thuyll. pure white, large compact spike, very fine for early forc- ing. British Queen, pure white, grand spike and large bulb, not sufficiently known. .\ fine variety. Grandeur a Merveille. a fine blush white, very large spike. There is no better hyacinth of this color to grow in quantity. La Grandesse, extra fine snow-white, large spike, and fine formed bells, grand flower. This is an exhibition variety which has no equal among the single white hyacinths. Those who know its value use it largely, and every season the stock of it runs short in Holland. Mme. Van der Hoop, pure white, ex- tra large bells. Forces easily and is also very useful for outdoors, because of its erect habit. This is a fine variety, which we recommend for use in large quantities. Baron Van Thuyll. dark bright blue, large compact spike, has the same habit as the well-known white and pink Baron Van Thuyll. Charles Dickens, dark porcelain blue.
