ARMENIAN GRAPE HYACINTH.

An number of highly interesting an I beautiful species of grape hyac'nth lin 1 their way into cultivation, but one of the prettiest is too frequently neg’acted, possibly on account of the smaEer size of th? Howers. These a/e, howev-r. of the brightest rich blue, and closely arranged in conical racemes about Ilin, to 2in. long, and when the plants are only 3in. above the soil nothing could be brighter or more charming in this way. Those who know the gripe hyacinth will be pleased, we feel sure, th »y have given this one a trial, making a good chimp of bulbs either on some narrow border or on the rockery, .vhe e they will come directly under the o. e A friable, rich soil is most suitable to this class of bulb, but it is perf ctl hardy, and not by any means particular.
