POLYANTHUS OR BUNCH-FLOWERED NARCISSUS FOR POT CULTURE. 
The Polyanthus Narcissus, with its rich golden-yellow and snow-white flowers, is specialty adapted for winter 
and spring decoration in pots, glasses , and jardinets. The culture is the same as that of the Hyacinth. When 
three bulbs are grown together in a 6 or y-inch pot, the effect is greatly enhanced. 
Where flowers are in demand in November, December , and early in January, the Paper White and Double 
Roman Narcissi are invaluable. Pot them early in the autumn, and when well rooted commence forcing as 
required. Thus treated, they and tke Roman Hyacinth, ( see page 6), can be had in bloom froin October.

THE TULIP. 
In Spring the Tulip is the most effective flower of the Season ; its colours are 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. 
B 5 r“ From our Collection uie have omitted several which we consider superseded , and have replaced 
them by others of greater merit, this being the result of the extensive trials continually going on at our 
Experimental Grounds. 
EARLY SINGLE TULIPS. 
No other section of the Tulip displays so great a diversity 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 any just idea of their beauty, massed in beds or groups in the flower borders, 
or grown three in a pot for indoor decoration. There is nothing gaudy about these flowers or objectionable to 
the most refined taste ; the form, the colours, and the combinations are graceful and pleasing in the extreme. 
The First Prize for Tulips was awarded to us by the Royal Botanic Society, at their Exhibition of March, 1877. 
696 Due Van Thol, scarlet, edged yelloiu ; this very early dwarf Tulip can be had in bloom from November.

together, force gently, giving plenty of water, and as the bulbs come into bloom arrange them in pots 
or jardinets as required. 14Y. 6 d. per 100, 2 s. per dozen.
