PARROT TULIPS. 
The Parrot Tulip has a singularly picturesque appearance ; the flowers arc 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 arranged 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 colours blended, the effect is 
remarkably fine, while the early period at which they bloom adds greatly to their value. We have seen 
long broad bands of golden yellow, of pure white, and of deep purple 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 surprising they arc uot 
more extensively used for permanent edgings in flower gardens, shrubberies, and in lawns and pleasure 
parks where the grass has uot to be mown very early. 
Couture In-Doors. — It is absolutely necessary to ensure success that they are well 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 depredations of mice on the Crocus may be 
prevented by placing pieces of the Crown Imperial bulb near where the roots are planted.
