BULB NOTES. 



Dutch bulbs as seen in the seed 

 stores this season are the best re- 

 ceived in many years. Hyacinths are 

 solid and shapely as a rule. Tulips are 

 not remarkably large but in all other 

 respects are fine. Those who buy 

 "Red" or "Scarlet" Pottebakker prob- 

 ably do not all understand that they 

 get the old variety Verblooni renamed. 

 The only true scarlet Pottebakker is 

 the fine variety Sir Thomas Lipton 

 which is a sport from Pottebakker 

 Yellow. Grace Darling is a dark red 

 sport from Pottebakker White. 



Lilium candidum bulbs run slightly 

 undersize this year. The best variety 

 of candidum is characterized by short 

 white scales. The variety from 

 southern Europe which produces nar- 

 row petalled, inferior blooms has long 

 narrow pinkish scales running up to 

 the apex of the bulb.
