PARROT TULIPS, 



The PaiTOt Tulip lias a singiJavly pictai-csqne appearance ; the flowers are large antl the colours 

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

 striking effect. When gi-own in hanging baskets, and so arranged as to cause their large gay flowers to 

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

CROCUS. 



FOK 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 tlirej 

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

 remarkably fine, while the early period at which they bloom adds greatly to their value. AVe have seen 

 long broad bands of golden yellow, of pm-e white, and of deep ]iurple Crocus, also fancy desigais, and 

 groups and masses containing from 10 to 1,000 bidbs, expand with such efliect in the mid-day sun, as 

 to elicit the gi-eatest admiration. The bulbs being so exceedingly cheap it is sui-prising they are not 

 more extensively used for permanent edgings in flower gardens, shrubberies, and in lawns and pleasure 

 parks where the grass has not to be mown very early. 



Culture In-Doors. — It is absolutely necessary to ensm'e success that they are well supplied with 

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



CuLTunE IN THK Ol'BN GROUND. — They may be grown in almost any soU and situation. Plant 

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

 prevented by placing pieces of the CrowTi Imperial bulb near where the roots are planted.
