Antique Glass Hyacinth Vases  
  "In the most confined streets of London the Hyacinth may be seen blooming as magnificently as if surrounded by all the advantages of the open country, and displaying ungrudgingly for the delight of its city cultivators charms which most other plants, even though indigenous to our own soil, cannot be induced to reveal."
(Barr and Sugden's Floral Guide to Winter and Spring Gardening, 1862)
