GESNERIANA TULIP, OR TULIPA SINENSIS HORTENSIS. 
This is the showiest of all Tulips ; the flowers are large, and of the richest intense scarlet. They are taller 
than the ordinary Tulips, and form a succession to the early flowering varieties. They should, therefore, be 
planted in isolated beds, in lines or ribbons, in front of shrubs, or in groups in the borders. The rich dazzling 
colour and the size of the flower make them invaluable subjects for distant effect.

VARIOUS TULIPS. 
The species here noted are as remarkable as they are beautiful. Clusiana, with its small Ixia-like flowers, 
is a little gem ; Cornuta, with its curiously twisted petals resembling spiral horns; Oculus Solis, with its great 
crimson-black centre ; Viridijlora, green, margined yellow ; Sylvestris, the sweet-scented Tulip ; Rctroflexa and 
Elegans, with their charming recurved petals; Persica, with its dwarf habit, 3 in., and extreme floriferotss 
character and fragrance, is most valuable for edgings and small beds. To those who are collectors of hardy 
bulbs the section cannot be otherwise than of the deepest interest.

CROCUS. 
I he Crocus is one of Ploras first hei aids of Spring, and for the flower garden it is indispensable. When 
used two or three lines deep as an edging to beds, or to form broad marginal lines in distinct colours, or in various 
colours blended, the effect is remarkably striking. We have seen long, broad, wavy bands of golden yellow, of 
pure white, and of deep purple Crocus, also fancy devices of these, and groups and masses of 10 to 1,000 bulbs, 
expand with such effect in the sun, as to elicit the greatest admiration. In lawns and pleasure parks where the 
grass is not mown very early, the Crocus and Snowdrop planted in scrolls or other fancy designs are frequently 
introduced with remarkably fine effect ; while in wildernesses and woodland walks they are universal favourites as 
associates of the sweet-scented violet, the primrose, and the oxlip. 
1'he depredations of mice on the Crocus may be prevented by placing pieces of the Crown Imperial bulb near 
where the roots are planted. 
CHEAP DUTCH CROCUS. 
These are offered by the thousand at moderate prices that they may be planted extensively as edgings to 
beds, in shrubbery borders, woodland walks, wild gardens, lawns, pleasure parks, etc. To one customer we last 
Autumn supplied nearly 20,000 Yellow Crocus for planting in this way, and from another customer this season we 
have an order for 30,000 to edge off beds cut in the grass. The effect of such masses, when expanded beneath 
the midday sun in February or March, as the season permits, is such that the brush of the artist would fail to 
reproduce it.

CHOICE NAMED DUTCH CROCUS. 
The following splendid large-flowered varieties, with their rich, beautiful, varied, and distinct colours are 
admirably adapted for edgings to select beds, and for carrying out specific and fancy designs. Purples can be 
had in various hues, whites as pure as the snowflake, and yellows as bright as burnished gold ; while in variegates 
Sir Walter Scott is as conspicuous amongst the Crocus as the Wizard of the North, whose centenary is being 
commemorated, was among the literati of his day. These are also the best Crocus for pot culture. When used 
for this purpose, they should be planted thickly together, grown in an airy situation, and have abundance of 
water.
