NOTE ON BRANCHED TULIPS. 



Many varieties of Tulips, especially perhaps among the vigorous 

 Darwin forms, at times produce more than one flower on a stalk. 

 Tulipa praestans often, in fact usually, does the same. There have 

 recently (see R.H.S. JOURNAL, vol. 36, p. xxxvii) been offered a race 

 of Tulips which normally produce several flowers on the same stem, 

 and this race was represented in the trial by the variety ' Monsieur S. 

 Mottet.'
