NARCISSUS FOR POT CULTURE. 
The Polyanthus Narcissus has rich golden-yellow or snow-white flowers , and is specially adapted for winter 
and spring decoration in pots and jardinets. The culture is the same as that of the Hyacinth. When three 
bulbs are grown together in a 6 or 7-inch fot, the effect is greatly enhanced. 
Where flowers are in demand in November, December , and early in January, the Paper White and Double 
Roman Narcissi are invaluable. Pot them early in autumn, and when well rooted commence forcing as 
required. Thus treated , these and the Roman Hyacinth ( seepage 6), can be had in bloom from October. 
The First Prize for Polyanthus Narcissus was awarded to us by the Royal Botanic Society at their 
March Show of 1877. our own selections.

SWEET SCENTED JONQUIL. 
The double and single Jonquils are prized for their graceful sweet scented flowers. For indoor decora- 
tion, three or more should be grown in a 5-inch pot, and treated as recommended for the cultivation of the 
Hyacinth. per doz.—#. d . per doz. — s. d.

THE TULIP. 
The Tulip is the most effective of Spring flowers ; its colours are rich, diversified and beautiful. It 
is extremely hardy, and of the easiest possible culture, succeeding in any ordinary soil, and flowering with the 
same freedom in the shade as in the sunshine, and as much at home in a confined town garden as in more 
favoured situations. Rows of mixed Tulips, double and single, in front of shrubs, maintain a display for a long 
period, and in this respect, in such positions, they are unexcelled. Arranged in beds of distinct colours, or the 
colours intermingled, the Early Single Tulip is always an object of admiration. In gardens of limited extent, 
where the flower beds must be gay from the first opening of Spring, Scilla sibirica, Snowdrops, or Crocus 
should be planted between the lines of Tulips ; thus arranged, the floral display is maintained till the Summer 
bedding plants are ready to put out. 
From our Collection we have omitted several which we consider superseded, and have replaced 
them by others of greater merit , this being the result of the extensive trials continually going on at our 
Experimental Grounds. 
EARLY SINGLE TULIPS. 
No other section of the Tulip displays so great a variety of delicate, striking, and attractive colours as 
these. Of seifs there are beautiful scarlets, crimsons, whites, and yellows. Of parti-colours, there are snow- 
white grounds, striped and feathered with purple, violet, crimson, rose, puce, and cerise ; and yellow grounds 
with crimson, scarlet, and red flakes and feathers ; so that only those who have cultivated the varieties of Early 
Single Tulips systematically can form any just idea of their beauty and diversity, when massed in beds or groups 
in the flower borders, or grown three in a pot for indoor decoration. 
The First Prize for Tulips was awarded to us by the Royal Botanic Society, at their Exhibition of March, 1877. 
688 Due Van Tbol, scarlet, edged y clients ; this very early dwarf Tulip can be had in bloom from November. 
The growers for Covent Garden Market plant in shallow boxes as thickly as the bulbs can be placed 
together, force gently, giving plenty of water, and as the bulbs come into bloom arrange them in pots 
or jardinets as required. 14J. 6d. per 100, 2 s. per dozen.
