Book Description
Excerpt from Catalogue of Bulbous and Tuberous Rooted Flowers, of the Most Choice and Splendid Varieties, Cultivated at the Linnean Botanic Garden and Nurseries, Flushing, Near New-York, 1838 and 1839 In regard to Single Hyacintlts an incorrect prejudice exists, arising from the fact that their peculiar merits are but little known. For early flower ing, and particularly for glasses or pots, they are extremely desirable; they combine the most brilliant colours, and surpass the double varieties in the profusion of their bells. It may in fact be said that they precede the double varieties, and thus in a general collection extend the period during which we may enjoy the beauties and fragrance of this delightful class of flowers.
