BtKs' Guar.'intested Bulbs is the name of the Bees' 

 new Bulb Catalogue for 1912. On the opening page is 

 a fine illustration of their new yellow -fiowered In- 

 carvillea lulca, found by their collector in China, and an 

 interesting account is given of how bulbs are grown in 

 Holland. The list runs to eighty pages, and is not 

 confined to bulbs, but includes some tuberous-rooted 

 and some *iutunnt- and wintei'- llowering plants. All 

 the well known bulbs .ire offered in large and small 

 qu.intities at very reasonable rales, and those who 

 seek rare bulbs will find many good things by looking 

 through the pages. An illuslralion of the branching 

 Tulip may be seen, and such gorgeous species as 

 T. i-'osleriana, pr.estans. and Kaufmainiiana are 

 catalogued. The illustr.ations are good and plentiful, 

 and many of the descriptions are quite origin:il. 



Kku,m the Lissadcll Bulb Farm comes a price list of 

 Daffodils. This list includes most of the best of new and 

 old OalTodils. Too many varieties are being named 

 which are so much alike, or are in no w.ay better than 

 the older sorts, and so th.'it we are pleased to sue that at 

 Liss.'idell the xarieties are being tested. Their i>pinion 

 of each sort is gi\'en after the description, helping the 

 purchaser to know whether the variety is good for 

 grass, pots or for beds. The catalogue contains 

 some fine illui^trations.

 Bulb Catalogue. In it will be found directions for 

 growing bulbs in bowls for house decoration. The 

 list describes all the best kind of bulbs suitable for the 

 garden. This firm has also a good collection of 

 Darwin Tulips, and towards the end will be found a 

 list including the best of these and other sections of 

 this most popular flower. Collections of Sweet I'eas 

 will be found on the last pages. 



H. W. Chirciiman. K.R.H.S., Sawston, Cambs., 

 sends a select and descriptive list of Sweet Peas for 

 this .-lutumn and 1913. Mr. Churchman makes a 

 speciality of Sweet Peas, and says that every seed sent 

 out is grown on his own grounds under his own super- 

 vision, and no faulty plant is allowed to seed. .\n 

 illustration shows how valuable and floriferous are the 

 autumn-sown Sweet Peas. .\ gold medal is offered for 

 competition, and novelties for 191,^ include Beatrice 

 Wright, Connie Ellis and .\lfred Challis.
