i2 TULIPS, EARLY DOUBLE, PARROT, AND SINGLE MAY-FLOWERING SPECIES. 
Double Tulips— continued. 
For sectional lines, where the Early Single Tulip is planted in designs, the Toumesol, No. 597 , being also 
early, is most valuable ; it is excellent to force for early-flowering, and is grown extensively for Covent Garden 
Market. Imperator Rubrorum the best scarlet, Toumesol Yellow the best yellow for indoor decoration. These 
Double Tulips should be planted three bulbs in a pot, and receive the same cultural treatment as the Hyacinth. 
In beds or large masses, Rex Rubrorum, scarlet , blended with La Candeur, while, produces an unrivalled effect 
in the Spring flower garden. Plant the bulbs six inches apart.

PARROT, or DRAGON TULIPS, with Laciuiated Petals {May -flowering). 
These have large, characteristic blossoms with curiously laciniated petals, and richly varied shades of beau- 
tiful colours in the same flower. They are very remarkable and exceedingly showy and effective in flower 
borders, while if grown in hanging baskets, the drooping flowers look like orchids. 
The varieties under name are all selected strong bulbs, and each may reasonably be expected to bloom ; but as 
there is an unaccountable uncertainty i?i the flowering of these Parrot Tulips, we advise that they be not used for 
filling beds, but simply planted in flower borders, or naturalized.
