PARROT TULIP. 



Tlci,o Croc"a.s. 



As one of the earliest ornaments of the flower garden, it is a universal favorite, being neat, 

 dwarf and compact, and varied in all the essential shades of color for producing harmony of 

 effect. The principal adaptation of this bulb consists in its suitability for planting near the 

 edge of flower borders, etc., so as not to require removal, or in forming lines or edges entirely 

 of such, which, after blooming, may be removed ; as the leaves show maturity of growth by 

 fading in color. 



The principal months for planting are October, November and December, in ordinary rich 

 garden soil, placing the bulbs about two inches deep, and four to six inches from the edge; 

 each group of six to eight bulbs being planted in its own relative color, or in blended varie- 

 ties. These improve for some years if not disturbed. To secure a succession of blooms in 

 pots, commence early in the first-named month with six or eight bulbs in each well-drained 

 pot, using the same rich soil, and planting about an inch deep, and. thus planted, place the 

 pots on a surface of ashes, covering them over one inch deep with soil, tan, or dry leaf- 

 mould, until the leaves appear through the soil, when they may be removed to the house.
