GESNERIANA TULIP OR TULIPA SINENSIS HORTENSIS. 
This Tulip is the most showy of all, the flowers large and of the richest and most intense scarlet, with con- 
spicuous black centre. It grows taller than the other Tulips, which, combined with the dazzling colour and large 
showy flowers, indicates its value for distant effect in isolated beds, in lines, ribbons, or groups in front of shrubs.

SINGLE TULIPS. 
The May-flowering Tulips are most valuable ; they produce a grand display of rich and varied coloured 
flowers in close succession to the Early Single Tulips, and on this account should be freely planted. The mixed 
English varieties quoted are specially recommended, the mixture consisting of the beautiful named varieties of 
one of the finest collections in England.

PARROT OR DRAGON TULIPS. 
The large and curiously laciniated flowers of these picturesque Tulips resemble a parrot's beak ; the varied 
and rich colours in tire same flower form brilliant and beautiful combinations. In the mixed flower and shrub- 
bery borders these Tulips are strikingly effective. Cultivated in hanging baskets the large flowers droop over 
and have quite an orchidaceous appearance.

CROCUS. 
The Crocus is charmingly beiutiful, and among the first to unbosom its flowers in Spring. It possesses consider- 
able diversity of colour, and deservedly occupies a prominent place wherever Spring flowers are prized. As an 
edging to beds, when planted in triple lines, in distinct or diverse colours, the display is remarkably striking. The 
effect is also grand in broad marginal lines in the flower border. We have seen long, wavy bands of golden
