DOUBLE TULIPS. 



While not equal to the single in brilliancy, the double varieties, 

 last much longer in bloom. The early varieties, such as Due 

 Van Thol, Murillo, Titian, Imperator Rubrorum, and the Tour- 

 nesols, are excellent for forcing. The later sorts will not bear 

 forcing as well as the early varieties, but are very effective in 

 beds or borders. A combination bed of the pure white and 

 bright scarlet varieties La Candeur and Rex Rubrorum is espe- 

 cially effective. The average height of each in inches is prefixed.

CROCUS. 



This brilliant and universally admired spring flower will thrive in any soil or situation, but to be brought to the highest per- 

 fection it should be grown in an open bed or border of deep, rich, sandy loam. When planted in large groups or lines of dis- 

 tinct colors, the effect is very striking, and the bulbs are now offered so cheap as to justify their liberal use. They are invaluable 

 for pot culture. To secure a succession of blooms commence planting early in October, 6 or 8 bulbs in a pot (the named 

 varieties are best for this purpose), using rich soil, and planting about an inch deep. Place the pots on a surface of ashes, cover 

 the top one inch deep with soil, until the leaves appear, when they may be removed to the house. 



NAMED CROCUS. 



These are large bulbs of the best varieties, and are remarkable for richness of color and size of their flowers.
