A NEW OUTLOOK 



the most useful for pots, and they also come in well for Oct. 

 beds. The May-bloomers (Darwin and Cottage) are the 16-31 

 finest class for borders. The largest of the species, such 

 as Gesneriana, are splendid for groups, but the smaller 

 are best in the rock garden. The Parrots make pretty 

 beds and border groups. The Hyacinth and Daffodil 

 compost will suit pot Tulips perfectly well, and three 

 bulbs per 5-inch pot will be a proper allowance. They 

 should be plunged for a few weeks after potting, like 

 Hyacinths. Early Dutch Tulips are also well adapted 

 for cultivation in vases, like Daffodils, peat-moss fibre 

 and shell being used in place of soil. When grown as 

 garden plants they ought to be put in deep, fertile, 

 friable soil, and covered about three inches deep. If 

 possible, the groups should consist of at least six bulbs 

 each, set nine inches apart. The following are good
