Florists' Late-flowering or English Tulips. 

 Cultivation. These can be grown in good loam, 

 planted 4" deep and 4" to 6" apart at the end of 

 October or beginning of November. Shading from 

 strong sun when in flower will prolong the blooms. 



Classification. There are three classes (1) 

 Bizarres, (2) Byblcemens, and (3) Roses, each sub- 

 divided into flamed and feathered. The Bizarres 

 have a yellow ground flamed or feathered witli 

 shades of red, brown, and almost black. The 

 Byblcemens and Roses have pure white grounds, 

 the former being flamed or feathered with shades 

 of purple, and the latter with scarlet or rose 

 shades. In addition to these are the " Breeder " 

 or self-coloured Tulips, the stage before " break- 

 ing " into the flames or featherings. These, like 

 the others, ought to have a stainless base. The 

 shape should be circular. The varieties named in 

 the selections are not all in ordinary commerce.

TURF. 



A name commonly applied to the close green 

 sward of a lawn, synonymous with " grass " used 

 collectively. 



Laying turf is the alternative operation to 

 sowing seed when a lawn is required. Where good 

 turf, free from coarse Grasses, weeds, and moss, is 

 obtainable, a lawn thus made comes into condition 

 sooner than one from seed. If such material can- 

 not be obtained seed may be sown. The sods may 

 be cut to any size that is most convenient ; usually 

 3' long by 1' wide is the size favoured. In cutting 

 turf choose that from good pasture land where 

 sheep have been feeding, for such grass is sure to 

 be well nourished ; mark out the size of the sods, 

 and roll them up as they are cut. (See also TURF 

 TOOLS.) 



Probably the best time in the year for laying 

 turf is early spring. If laid then it is in time for the 

 warm spring rains, and is enabled to establish itself 

 before the drought of summer comes. Still, turf 

 can be laid in autumn, and all through the winter 

 if mild weather holds, not in frosty spells. Turf
