BULBS. 



All the bulbs were received here rather late in the aiitiimn, and the ground was 

 very wet when they were planted. In fact, ?oine of the bnlbs were planted after 

 Christmas. This method did not seem to injure the bloom the following spring. The 

 bloom on all varieties was almost perfection. The spring was cool and damp, thus pro- 

 longing the season of bloom to a greater extent than usual. 



Three thousand early tulips (50 Danvin tulips, 250 May-flo^yering tulips. 50 

 double late tulips, 275 narcissi, 600 double daffodils, 5U0 single daffodils, 600 anemones, 

 and 200 iris) were planted as per the following list, and, without a single exception,
