We advise the planting of the named varieties of 

 these, as our experience with them is, that the mixed 

 varieties are not mixed ; that but two or three distinct 

 sorts are all that are usually to be found in the so-called 

 mixtures. As variety is especially desirable in this pecu- 

 liar class, and as the bulbs are not expensive, named 

 sorts only should be used. 



Double Tulips. — In both the early and late sorts 

 there are double forms, which are valued highly by some, 

 not only for their display, but because they continue 

 longer in bloom than the single forms. The following 

 list includes the most desirable for bedding purposes :
