Showy Spring flowering bulbs, which occupy an important position in mixed borders, Tliey grow 

 freely in almost any soil, and are very effective planted in marginal lines, and grouped in shrubberies 

 and woodland walks. N. Bulbocodium and N. Nanus make pretty edgings and excellent pot plants.

JONQUIL NARCISSUS. 



These are graceful and pretty, and are much prized for their fragrance. They are valuable for the 

 decoration of the conservatory, sittmg-room, and flower garden, and requu-e the same cultural treatment 

 as Polyanthus Narcissus, except that three or four roots should be planted in a four or five-inch, and five 

 or six in a six-inch pot. and should not be forced till the turn of the year.

THE TULIP. 



EARLY TULIPS. 



For Winter and Spruig gardening, Early Flowering Tulips, double and single, are indispensable) 

 and vdiether grown in pots, ornamental vases, jardinets. &c., for in-door decoration, in flower boxes, 

 rustic vases, or in the open groimd, their brilliant and diversified coloui-s produce a pleasing and striking 

 effect. Their extreme hardiness, certainty of blooming, and the absence of aU difficulty in their culti- 

 vation, distinctly entitle them to a preference in the choice of occupants for the Spring flower garden, 

 while their cheapness enables exerj lover of a flower gai-den to plant extensively. 



Those who may onl}' have small shaded town gardens need not be afraid to plant Tuhps freely ; we 

 can assure them that they succeed well even in such positions, and remain longer in bloom than if grown 

 in situations where they would be exposed to the influence of the sun. 



EARLY SINGLE TULIPS. 



Ko Tulips display so great a variety of dehcate, strikuig, and attractive colours as these. 



CuLTurtE IN Pots is the same as recommended for the Hyacinth ; but to produce an effective display 

 three bulbs shotild be planted in a four or five-inch, and five"^ in a sis-inch pot. They should be grown 

 close to the glass, and during fine days have abundance of air. Those intended for early bloomiag should 

 be gently forced as soon as the shoot appears. 



CuLTCRE OUT OF DooRS precisely that of the Hyacinth, planting the bulbs fottr to six inches apart, 

 and keeping the crown of the bulb three inches under the surface ; during severe weather protect with a 

 thin coating of Htter or cocoa fibre. 



Time of Pla^ttixg for out-door Decoratiojc. — The early part of November, or as soon after as 

 convenient. "We have planted the Tuhp as late as January, and have had a splendid display.
