ED JONQUIL. 
The double and single Jonquils are prized for their graceful sweet scented flowers. For indoor decora»- 
tion, three or more should be grown in a 5-inch pot, and treated as recommended for the cultivation of the

THE TULIP. 
The Tulip is the most effective of Spring flowers ; its colours are rich, diversified and beautiful. It 
is extremely hardy, and of the easiest possible culture, succeeding in any ordinary soil, and flowering with the 
same freedom in the shade as in the sunshine, and as much at home in a confined town garden as in more 
favoured situations. Rows of mixed Tulips, double and single, in front of shrubs, maintain a display for a long 
period, and in this respect, in such positions, they are unexcelled. Arranged in beds of distinct colours, or the 
colours intermingled, the Early Single Tulip is always an object of admiration. In gardens of limited extent, and 
where the flower beds must be kept gay from the first opening of Spring, the surface of the bed may be planted' 
with Scilla sibirica, Snowdrops, or Crocus ; thus arranged, the floral display is maintained till the Summer 
bedding plants are ready to put out. 
From our Collection we have omitted several which we consider superseded, and have replaced 
them by others of greater merits this being the result of the extensive trials continually going on at our 
F.xperimental 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 pounds, 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 any just idea of their beauty and diversity, when massed in beds or groups 
in the flower borders, or grown three in a poi for indoor decoration. 
The First Prize for Tulips was awarded to us by the Royal Botanic Society, at their Exhibition of March, 1877. 
669 Due Van Thol, scarlet, edged yellow ; this very early dwarf Tulip can be had in bloom from November. 
The growers for Covent Garden Market plant in shallow boxes as thickly as the bulbs can be placed 
together, and force gently, giving plenty of water, as the bulbs come into bloom they arrange them in 
pots or jardinets as required, i+f. (sd. per 100, “is. per dozen.
