DUTCH BULBS AND FLOWERING ROOTS. 7 
LATE FLOWERING, or SHOW TULIPS. 
This variety is grown by the florist and amateur for its beautiful bloom, and is 
seldom used to produce a mass of flowers, each individual blossom being a marvel of 
beauty in itself. It is from this variety that prize flowers are obtained, many of 
which command fabulous prices. 
They are much taller than the preceding varieties (being 1}2 to 2 feet), and were 
the subject of so much commercial speculation in the seventeenth century, when five 
hundred pounds sterling were paid fora single bulb. ‘The mania has now died out, 
yet larger sums are still paid for new varieties of this bulb, than almost any other.

GCRe@CUS: 
_ CROCUS. CROCUS. ANEMONE-—SINGLE AnD DOUBLE. 
Among the earliest to blossom in the Spring is this beautiful little flower, lifting its head almost before the 
snow has disappeared. Blooming ata time when the ground is destitute of foliage or flower, it is a welcome visitor. 
The Crocus succeeds when grown in pots, and tolerably well in glasses, for which purpose the best named varieties 
should be selected. They present the best appearance, however, when grown in masses, in a bed, for which large 
quantities should be used, say from one hundred to five hundred ina bed. ‘The proper time for planting is the 
same as for the Hyacinth, and the bulbs should be set two or three inches apart, and two deep.
