POLYANTHUS NARCISSI, THE JONQUIL, AND EARLY TULIPS. 
POLYANTHUS, OR BUNCII-FLOWEREl) NARCISSI, 
FOR POT-CULTURE, FLOWER BEDS, BORDERS, RUSTIC BASKETS, FLOWER BOXES, ETC. 
The Polyanthus Narcissus has rich golden-yellow or snow-white sweet-scented flowers, and is specially 
adapted for winter and spring decoration in pots and jardinets. The effect is greatly enhanced when three bull's 
are grown together in a 6 or j-inch pot. The culture is the same as that of the Hyacinth. 
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 Hyacinths (see page 6), can be had in bloom from October. 
f$ST The Polyanthus Narcissus is a very effective plant in flower beds and mixed borders.

SWEET-SCENTED JONQUILS. 
The Double and Single Jonquils are prized for their graceful sweet-scented flowers. For indoor decoration, 
three to six should be grown in a 4 or 5-inch pot, and cultivated the same as the Hyacinth.

THE TULIP. 
The Tulip is extremely hardy, and of easy culture, flowering as freely in the shade as in the sunshine, and 
producing as fine 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 lucilice, 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-flowering 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 lor indoor decoration, three or five 
bulbs in a pot, and cultivated in the same way as the Hyacinth. {See page 7 for cultural directions. )
