Bulbs. Some of the many varieties can be in flower 

 all the year, as described in the chapter on seasonable 

 work. The requirements for bulbs are loose, rather sandy 

 soil, made rich where the roots are to form. 



Specialities in Roses. The numberof kinds catalogued 

 is unlimited. The great desideratum is, of course, to secure 

 those which are of vigorous growth, good, healthy, and 

 pleasing foliage, good-shaped flowers, and free-blooming 

 disposition. Those qualities are found largely among the 

 tea-scented and Noisette kinds, the following amongst them : 

 Marechal Neil, golden yellow ; Reine Marie Henriette, 

 deep pink; Madame Mathilde Lenaerts, deep rose; 

 Francisca Kruger, coppery yellow ; Madame Lambard, 

 salmon pink ; Niphetos, pure white ; Rubens, rosy white ; 

 Safrano, buff ; Souvenir d'un Ami, rosy pink ; The Bride,
