BEDDINO PLANTS. 



What time should I sow the follow- 

 ing seeds to have nice plants by May 

 20 in plant boxes: Petunias, alyssums, 

 mignonettes, nicotianas, lobelias, sal- 

 vias, salpiglossis and nasturtiums? 



F. H. E. 



Petunias and lobelias should be sown 

 now. Salpiglossis, salvias, nicotianas 

 and nasturtiums need not be sown be- 

 fore March 20 or the end of the month. 

 The three last named all make rapid 

 growth. Mignonettes and alyssums 

 would also be in time if sown 

 towards the end of the present 

 month. It would be well not to 

 try transplanting the mignonettes into 

 flats, but keep them in pots, as they are 

 not easy annuals to transplant. In fact, 

 all the plants you name would give 

 more satisfactory results if grown in 

 pots singly than when pricked out in 

 shallow boxes. C. W. 



TULIPS FOB FOBOINa. 



"Which are the best forcing tulips com- 

 ing to the cut flower market now in 

 red, white and yellow? E. M. 



The best forcing single tulips at pres- 

 ent in season are: La Heine, white; 

 Keizerskroon, red and yellow; Yellow 

 Prince, yellow; Belle Alliance, scarlet; 

 Thomas Moore, terra cotta buflf. In 

 doubles, Murillo, delicate rose; Couronne 

 d'Or, yellow, flushed orange; Imperator 

 rubrorum, scarlet; Salvator rosa, rose- 

 ^pink, are the best sellers. C. W.
