BEDDING TULIPS. 



White Hawk, previously referred to in 

 the Keview as a grand all-round tulip 

 for any and every purpose, can hardly 

 be overpraised, according to a writer in 

 the Gardeners' Magazine. It has a good 

 and long stalk, while its purity of color 

 and lovely bold shape make it not only a 

 grand bedder to associate with the reds 

 and crimsons flowering from the middle 

 to the end of April, but a most delight- 

 ful flower for cutting. Nothing could be 

 more superb than a bed of Couleur de 

 Cardinal edged with a broad band of 

 White Hawk. 



Jacoba van Beijeren is a fine tulip, 

 pure in color, and so stiff and strong 

 that it stands bad weather better than 

 any other white, except perhaps Queen 

 of the Whites and La Triomphante. The 

 latter, however, hardly can be described 

 as pure white, as it is flushed slightly 

 on the outside of the petals with rose. 

 Jacoba van Beijeren, however, rarely 

 grows over fourteen inches high. Maas 

 is a grand bedder, but so early that its 

 huge blooms are liable to become frost-

ed. Vesuvius is the best first-early tulip 

 among the scarlet shades; its fine point- 

 ed flowers on stiff and long stalks make 

 it a grand bedder, and as a companion 

 either Prince de Ligny or Queen of the 

 Whites is good. 



If I had to select the "best dozen flow- 

 ers for cutting, Tulipa retroflexa would 

 certainly be one of them. Its long, 

 slender stems make a somewhat shel- 

 tered spot a necessity for it. A bed of 

 it, some 2,000 strong, under a south wall, 

 was thii year a glorious sight, and I had 

 no diflBculty in marketing every bloom.
