Group III. — continued. JONQUIL NARCISSUS. 
The double and the single Jonquil are greatly prized for their fragrance, and are cultivated three or more in a 
five-inch pot, and treated as recommended for the Hyacinth. Campemelli is one of the most effective plants in 
the flower garden, and very pretty when cultivated in pots.

THE TULIP. 
Tulips in Spring are amongst the most beautiful and effective objects in the Flower Garden. Their colours 
are rich and charmingly diversified ; they are extremely hardy, of the easiest possible culture, and they are always 
a success. They will grow in almost any soil and situation, flowering with the same freedom in the shade as in 
the sunshine, and as much at home in confined town gardens as in more favoured situations. In front of shrubs, 
bands of double and single intermixed maintain a display for a long period, surpassing that of almost any other 
Spring flower, while in beds of distinct colours, or the colours intermingled, they are always objects of admiration; 
and in gardens of limited extent, and where the flower beds must be kept gay from the first opening of Spring, 
the surface of the Tulip beds may be planted with Forget-me-Not, Silene, Collinsia bicolor, etc., and so arranged,, 
the floral display is maintained till the Summer bedding plants are ready to furnish the beds. 
We have omitted from our Collectioji several which we consider superseded, and replaced them by. 
others of greater merit, being the result of the extensive trials continually going on at our Exper imental Grounds. 
EARLY SINGLE TULIPS. 
No other section of the Tulip displays so great a variety of delicate, striking, and attractive colours as 
these. Of seifs there are beautiful scarlets, crimsons, whites, and yellows. Of parti-colours, there are snow- 
white grounds, striped and feathered with purple, violet, crimson, rose, puce, and cerise; and yellow grounds* 
with crimson, scarlet, and red flakes and feathers ; so that only those who have cultivated the varieties of Early 
Single Tulips systematically can form affy just idea of their beauty, when grown three in a pot, or massed in 
beds or in groups in the flower borders. There is nothing about these flowers gaudy or objectionable to the most 
refined taste ; the form, the colours, and the combinations are graceful and pleasing in the extreme. 
EARLY SINGLE TULIPS FOR 0UT-D00R CULTURE OR FOR POTS. 
IN BEDS, GKOUPS, RIBBONS, RUSTIC BASKETS, VASES, FLOWER BOXES, ETC., THESE ARE SPLENDID.

430 Due Van Thol, scarlet, edged yellmu ; this variety, planted early, can be forced 
into bloom from November onwards. It is best grown three to twelve in a 
pot ; and in large establishments, where numerous jardinets have to be fur- 
nished, it should be treated as the growers do who supply Covent Garden 
Market ; that is, plant the roots in any common box as thickly as they can 
be placed together, and when coming into bloom arrange them in the jardinets 
as required. 8 j. 6d. per ioo, is. 3 d. per dozen.
