A SELECT LIST OF TULIPS. 271 



Gay, in the Shepherd's Week, makes honest Jobbin Clout sing of it. 



The author of the Man of Feeling places the gem in another aspect— 



'•' Tread with awe the path around, 

 Tread with awe, 'tis hallowed ground; 

 For here iu this sequester'd dell, 

 Wis ye who the guests that dwell ; 

 Simplicity whose brow adorn, 

 The daisies washed by dewy morn." 



Passing by many other names that sing of 



" The heather and the daisy of the hill," 

 I am convinced that if the Double Garden Daisy was taken under the 

 patronage of some enterprising florists, it would soon repay them for 

 the trouble bestowed upon it. As an instance that many varieties 

 may be had for seeking after : in the list of prizes offered by the 

 Auchenbomie and West Plean Horticultural Society for last year, 

 there was one for the best collection of Double Daisies. I may notice 

 that this society has only for its object the improvement of cottage 

 gardening ; yet instead of half a dozen being produced, there were 

 upwards of twenty distinct varieties brought forward for competition, 

 some of them were very beautiful. I believe if you had seen them 

 you would have got them figured for the Cabinet. If such an out- 

 of-the-way place can produce so many, what may we not expect from 

 those places that take the lead in the floral world, if they were to 

 exert themselves but a little. There are many of your readers who 

 may have small gardens and limited incomes, that may have as much 

 pleasure in the possession of a beautiful Daisy as in that of even a 

 first-rate Dahlia.

yjtOM " A WARRINGTON CORRESPONDENT." 



In accordance with my promise to Mr. William Harrison of Felton 

 I here transmit you a list of about one hundred of the best Tulips 

 grown in this neighbourhood, which, upon the whole, will be found 

 to contain a greater number of superior varieties than his ; and being 

 more ecpially distributed in classes, a judicious selection may the more 

 easily be made from it. I have considered it unnecessary, however, 

 to affix the particular marks of character recommended by him, for
