POT OP SINGLE TULIPS. 
The practice of flowering Tulips in pots and boxes of 
earth during winter is becoming more general each year, 
and it is now a very common sight to see, as we pass win¬ 
dows filled with plants, boxes of beautiful Tulip flowers, 
rearing their stately heads above the smaller blossoms. 
The Tulip does not grow strongly if started in the heat, 
and it is advisable to put them in a cool, shady place for 
three or four weeks, or until well under way, before plac¬ 
ing them in a room sufticiently warm to grow other 
plants.

CROCUS. 
The Crocuses are delicate single flowers, about the first to greet 
us in the spring. They are very hardy and the only difficulty is 
their liability to be thrown out by the frost, when the ground is 
bare, towards spring. To prevent this some light substance should 
be thrown over them to shade them from the action of the sun. 
After flowering, when the leaves have decayed, they can be taken 
up and kept in a cool, dry place until planting time comes again. 
„If there is no further use for the spot they are in, they can be left 
'in the ground for several years. The flowers fade quickly when 
cut, and for this reason are not as desirable as many of the 
bulbs, however, the Crocus is so cheap, and flowers so soon after 
crocus. planting, that it will always be prized. Plant in September or Octo¬ 
ber, one and one-half inches under ground, in any good garden soil. The effect is better 
if planted thickly together.
