TULIPS, WITH LACINIATED PETALS ( May -flowering). 
These ha y e l ar S e « 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 named varieties offered are all strongest bulbs, and may reasonably be expected to flower ; but as there is an 
unaccoiin table uncertainty in these T ulips all flowering, we advise them not to be used for filling beds, but to be 
planted m flower borders, or naturalized.

CROCUSES. 
The Crocus is one of the earliest flowers of Spring, and occupies a prominent place in every garden. 
Planted as an edging in triple lines of one or more colours, the effect is striking. No Spring display sur- 
passes that of broad wavy bands of golden-yellow, striped, purple, or of pure white Crocuses, when they ex- 
pand their blossoms in February and March. In lawns and pleasure parks, planted in the grass, the Crocuses are 
extremely effective. For several years past in “ Rotten Row,” and other of the Royal Parks, Crocuses, Snow- 
drops, Daffodils, &c., have been planted in the grass, to the great delight of visitors, and the enhanced 
decoration of the parks. In wild gardens, woodland walks, etc., the Crocus should be associated with the 
violet, the primrose, and the oxlip.
