WITH LACINIATED PETALS {May -flowering). 
The large, characteristic blossoms with their curiously laciniated petals, and richly varied shades of beau- 
tiful colours, in the same flower arc very remarkable and exceedingly showy and effective in flower borders, and 
in hanging baskets the drooping Mowers look like orchids. 
The named varieties offered are all strongest bulbs, and may reasonably be expected to flower; but as there is an 
tin accountable uncertainty in these Tulips all flowering, we advise them not tope used for filling beds, but planted 
in borders, or naturalized. per doz.

CROCUSES. 
The Crocus is one of the earliest Mowers of Spring, and occupies a prominent place in every garden. 
When 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 arc 
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. 
CHEAP DUTCH CROCUS, FOR LARGE PLANTINGS. 
To encourage extensive planting in shrubberies, woodlands, wild gardens, in grass, on lawns, pleasure parks, 
etc., Crocus are quoted by the thousand cheaply. For a gorgeous effect in early spring nothing can equal 
the Golden Yellow Crocus, masses of which will attract the eye at a great distance.
