designs. For forcing, the Touryesol is tlie most valuable, and forms in the early Spring months one of the leading 
features in flowering plants brought into Covent Garden Market. Imperator Rubrorum is the best scarlet, and 
Tournesol Yellow is the best yellow, for pot culture. Most of the others are very effective in pots, but it is. not 
desirable to force them, except very gently. In pots, the Tulip requires the same cultural treatment as the 
Hyacinth. Yellow Rose with Gold-striped Foliage is a valuable acquisition. In beds, Rex Rubrorum is the most 
effective scarlet, and La Candcur the most effective white. Indeed, these two Tulips stand unrivalled amongst 
Spring flowering plants. 
We think it only right to state that our mixed double Tulip do not contain any of those nondescript 
colours which too frequently form part of the double Tulips sold in mixture.

LATE-FLOWERING SINGLE TULIPS. 
These Tulips were formerly greatly prized by Amateurs for their individual beauty. Now that effect is the 
main thing sought after in the flower garden, they are valued for the grand display they produce in close suc- 
cession to the Early Single Tulips, thus forming a connecting link in the general Spring display.

PARROT TULIPS. 
The flowers of the Parrot Tulips are large, and before expanding resemble a parrot’s beak ; the colours 
are brilliant, forming singular combinations rarely met with in flowers. In mixed borders and in front of 
shrubs they are strikingly effective. Grown in hanging baskets they droop over the side and impart quite an 
orchidaceous effect.

GESNERIANA TULIP, OR TULIPA SINENSIS HORTENSIS. 
This is the showiest of all Tulips ; the flowers are large, and of the richest intense scarlet. It is taller 
than the ordinary Tulip, and forms a succession to the early-flowering varieties. It 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 flowers make it an invaluable subject for distant effect.
