PARROT TULIPS, WITH LACINI ATED PETALS. — {May-flowering* ) 
These have large, characteristic blossoms with curiously laoiniated petals, and richly varied shades of 
beautiful 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. 
Th named varieties offered are all strongest bulbs, and may reasonably be expected to flower , but as there is an un- 
accountable uncertainty in these Tulips all flowering, we advise them not to be used for filling beds, but 
to be planted in flower borders , or naturalized.

CROCUSES. 
The Crocus is one of the earliest flow'ers 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 
are extremely effective. For several years past in "Rotten Row,” and other of the Royal Parks, Crocuses, 
Snowdrops, 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 CROCUSES, 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.
