Varieties for the Garden.—‘n making a selec- 
tion for the garden, we should depart from the rule laid 
down for the late flowering sorts, and select named vari- 
eties, as the mixtures vary so much in height and time 
of flowering, as well as in colors, that a good effect can- 
not be produced with them. The following are among 
the best, and will give every desired form and color: 
Artus.—Brilliant dark scarlet, very handsome and 
effective. 
Brutus.—The earliest scarlet, vivid in color, with 
a very slight yellow feather on the edges. A low priced 
sort. 
Duc van Thol.—Scarlet, is an inestimable bed- 
ding Tulip, dwarf, of fine color and very cheap. 
Couleur Cardinal.—A splendid bedding Tulip, 
haying a most unusual dwarf and rigid habit; the flow- 
ers are of a rich dark red, with a vivid crimson feather 
on the edges; it is a little late in blooming, but serves 
useful purpose in keeping up a succession of bloom. 
Belle Alliance.—Crimson scarlet; dwarf, early, 
and lasts well. 
Canary Bird.—Clear rich yellow; early. 
Chrysolora.—One of the earliest, deep yellow, 
large and handsome. One of the best. 
Keizers-Kroon.—Bright shining red, broadly edged 
with deep yellow, magnificent for any purpose ; a bed of 
this variety alone is simply gorgeous. 
Lac van Rhyn.—Dark violet, silver white margin. 
Pottebakker.—Pure white, large, handsome, an 
early. 
Queen Victoria.—Rosy white, very effective. 
Rose Gris-de-lin. —Rose, shaded with white, very 
fine. 
The list could be extended to almost any limit, but
