116 THE TULIP. 



Some of the smaller early tulips force well in sand and 

 earth, requiring the treatment already prescribed for narcis- 

 sus and hyacinths. We have in our garden a charming 

 little tulip of a vivid yellow, deliciously fragrant, and pro- 

 ducing two or three flowers on a stem, which we received 

 from Holland a few years since under the name of T. 

 fragrans. It is perfectly hardy, flowers freely, and remains 

 long in perfection.
