LATE-FLOWERING SINGLE TULIP. 



This Tulip is, perhaps, the most generally known. It ^-ows taller and blooms in May. Amateurs 

 cultivate it for the ijidividual beauty of the flower, but it is also very effective for decorative purposes.

PARROT TULIPS. 



The PaiTot Tulip has a singularly picturesque appearance ; the flowers are large and the colours 

 brilliant, so that when planted in flower borders,' and the front of shrubberies, they produce a most 

 striking effect. When grown in hanging baskets, and so planted as to cause their large gay flowers to 

 droop over the side, the effect is remarkable and unique.

CROCUS. 



For in-door decoration the Crocus properly managed is very useful, and for the flower garden, shrubbery 

 borders, flower boxes, rustic vases, &c., indispensable. When used as an edging to beds two or three 

 lines deep, or to form broad marginal lines in distinct colours, or in various coloui-s blended, the effect is 

 remarkably fine, while the season at which they bloom adds greatly to their value. We have seen long 

 broad bands of golden yellow, of pure white, and of deep pm-ple Crocus, also fancy designs, and groups 

 and masses containing from 10 to 1,000 bulbs, expand with such effect in the mid-day sun, as to elicit 

 the greatest admiration. The bulbs being so exceedingly cheap it is sui-prising they are not more exten- 

 sively cultivated in flower gardens, shrubberies, and lawns. 



Culture In-Doors. — It is absolutely necessary to ensure success that they are weU supplied with 

 water, kept close to the glass, and have abundance of fresh air. 



Culture in the Open Ground. — They may be grown in almost any soil and situation. Plant 

 three inches deep, and not more than two inches apart. The dejyredations of mice on the Crocus may be 

 prevented by placing pieces of the Cro^^^l Imperial bulb near where the roots are planted.
