BEGONIA AMABILIS. 



This was one of the most interesting 

 plants seen at the last meeting of the 

 Royal Horticultural Society, says the 

 Horticultural Advertiser. We have 

 heard so much about tlie non-fertility 

 of Gloire de Lorraine, that some may 

 doubt the genuineness of seedlings from 

 it. Well, with the above it may not be 

 quite correct to say that it is from Lor- 

 raine, but it was the result of seed 

 saved from one of the sports from that 

 well known variety, and a curious thing 

 is that this sport has occurred with sev- 

 eral growers. H. B. May was the first 

 to show it under the name of Master- 

 piece, but it has since been shown under 

 other names. T. Rochford & Sons, how- 

 ever, adopted the name Masterpiece, and 

 it is to them we owe the new variety, 

 Amabilis. Masterpiece produced female 

 flowers last spring, and these were fer- 

 tilized with pollen from Socotrana. The 

 plants raised from the seed varied but lit- 

 tle, the most distinct character being the 

 peltate leaves, which are also larger than 

 in Ijorraine. The plants shown, which were 

 only about four months old, had thick 

 flower stems, and the flowers were the 

 same pleasing shade of pink as the par- 

 ent, but appeared of better substance, 

 and give great promise of making a 

 more vigorous grower altogether. 



A remarkable point is that in a num- 

 ber of seedlings there should be so little 

 variation. There is one fact, however, 

 which should be of interest; that is, a 

 sport from Lorraine has proved fertile, 

 and we may now hope for further re- 

 sults from the same parent. The name 

 Amabilis may be appropriate, but we 

 have a species which came from Assam 

 in IS.'jO under the same name, and this 

 mav cause some confusion. 



ENGLISH TULIPS. 



It seems possible that our old English 

 cottage garden species, and the improved 

 varieties from them, may prove amen- 

 able to forcing, says the Horticultural 

 Advertiser. W. T. Ware, of Bath, sends 

 flowers of Scarlet Emperor, a variety 

 for which he was awarded a first-class ' 

 certificate; this, though belonging to the 

 jNlay-flovvering type, has forced well, the 

 large flowers were very bright and had 

 long stems, just the sort of thing we 

 want for superior work, for when the 

 ordinary scarlet varieties are seen in 

 every shop window, and in the streets, 

 they are not nuich ajipreciated for choice 

 work, and the florists have to look for 

 sometiiing better. 



I come in contact with a great many 

 of tilt leading florists, and 1 find their 

 aim«" invariably are to get flowers of 

 superior quality, e\cn if they pay much 

 higher jj-ices. Tliere appears to be a 

 considerable difiMcnco in the culture of 

 tulips. Of course tlie quality of bulbs 

 makes some diirerencc, yet tiiere is also 

 much to be gained by good culture and 

 the selection of the best sorts.
