Mkssrs. Ai.ex. D1CK8OX it Sons, Ltd., Belfast 

 aid Dublin, have issued their new list of bulbs, 

 seeds, bowls, &c.. and although, like many others, 

 they are unable to supply Hyacinths. Early Tulips 

 and some other items usually obtained from 

 abroad, the list is nevertheless ample enough to 

 satisfy the requirements of most gardens. Practi- 

 cally "everything in the list is honie grown, a fact 

 which should appeal to all at the present time, 

 and there is also the advantage that practically 

 every bulb and root offered may be relied on to 

 flower the fust season, which is not always the 

 case with imported stufi'. Anemones, Hellebores, 

 (Madioli. Daffodils, May-flowering and Darwin I 

 Tulips are offered in variety, while Ixias, Freesias, | 

 and Cyclamens contribute to the indoor list. 

 Tlu le is a special offer of large-flowering 

 .Ia|)anese Irises, so valuable for the waterside, 

 while those who love the very early flowers will 

 do well to consider Iris stylosa so good for a hot. 

 sunny spot. We would also draw atitention to the 

 very complete list of Sweet Peas in which Messrs. 

 Dickson are well-known specialists.
