THE FLORAL WOULD AND GARDEN GUIDE. 271 



several selections. Pirst, we will make a selection for exhibition, 

 the prices of which range from one to fifteen shillings for bulbs of 

 average quality. Then we take those which shall not exceed lialf-a- 

 crown each, but I will take care that a few only shall exceed a shil- 

 ling ; many of the best can be had for ninepence. 



And lastly, I will give a short list of cheap kinds for planting 

 out of doors, which can be had for four and five shillings per dozen, 

 or from twenty-five to thirty- five shillings per hundred. Perhaps I 

 ought not to mention anything about the price, but I must be prac- 

 tical in my remarks, or keep silent, and I know that questions of 

 finance are of importance to many of my readers. I can assure my 

 readers that the utmost reliance can be placed upon the undermen- 

 tioned selections. They are compiled from notes taken in the spring 

 at the various exhibitions, and elsewhere. I did intend to append a 

 short description ; but as that would take up too much space, I will 

 content myself by indicating the colour or class which they come 

 under for exhibition.

In giving the list for ordinary cultivation, I will jiist observe 

 that nearly all the single varieties — in fact, all that I shall name — 

 will do for growing in glasses ; therefore, I need not mark any. I 

 should not advise the double varieties to be grown very extensively. 

 The single ones are easier managed, and are, to my way of thinking, 

 far more beautiful.
