POLYANTHUS NARCISSI, THE JONQUIL, AND EARLY TULIPS. 
POLYANTHUS NARCISSI, the many-flowered Daffodils. 
FOR POT CULTURE, FLOWER BEDS, BORDERS, RUSTIC BASKETS, FLOWER BOXES, ETC. 
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 effect is greatly enhanced when three bulbs are grown together 
in a 6 or 7-inch pot. The culture is the same as that of the Hyacinth . 
Where flowers arc 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 Hyacinths ( see page 6), can be had in bloom from October, 
tfds' The Polyanthus Narcissus is a very effective plant in flower beds and mixed borders. 
White, with Citron, Yellow, or Orange Cup.

THE TULIP. 
The Tulip is extremely hardy, and of easy culture, flowering as freely in the shade as in the sunshine, and 
producing as tine flowers in a confined town garden, as in more favoured places. Double and single Tulips, 
when mixed together and planted in front of shrubs, maintain a longer display, than if either are separately 
planted. In gardens where the flower beds must be kept gay from the earliest dawn of Spring, plant between 
the lines of Tulips, Scilla sibirica, Chionodoxa luciliae, Snowdrops, or Crocus, and as these flower first, they can 
be removed or cut down when the Tulip is coming into bloom. 
EARLY SINGLE TULIPS. 
The Single Tulip has a greater variety of rich, delicate, and attractive colours than any other section of 
spring-flowtring bulbs. Those only who have massed the different varieties, planting the bulbs 5 inches apart, 
can form an idea of their beauty and great diversity in shade and colour, and the grand effect they produce 
grouped in flower beds or borders. The Single Tulip is extensively grown for indoor decoration, three or five 
bulbs in a pot, and cultivated in the same way as the Hyacinth. (See page 7 for cultural directions.)
