TRIAL OF TULIPS. 



In view of the confusion existing in the nomenclature of Tulips, 

 the Council of the R.H.S. have been requested to draw up a list of 

 synonyms, and have consented to do so with the co-operation of the 

 Dutch growers. It is accordingly proposed to plant this autumn 

 at Wisley (where Tulips do so well) as representative a collection of 

 all classes and descriptions of Tulips as can be got together. Growers 

 in Holland are asked to send over their bulbs to be grown 

 side by side with those from English growers. Five bulbs of each 

 variety should be sent at once. When they are in bloom a Joint 

 Committee of Dutch and English Tulip specialists will be invited to 

 meet at Wisley to determine the correct nomenclature. A synonymic 

 list will then be prepared and issued in the Journal of the Society. 

 It is important that all bulbs sent should bear the name under which 

 they are known to or sent out by the sender, and also an indication 

 of their type — as Early, Late, Darwin, Parrot,. Bizarre, Bybloemen, 

 Rose, &c. 



If sent by post : The Superintendent, R.H.S. Gardens, Wisley, 

 Ripley, Surrey. 



If sent by rail : The Superintendent, R.H.S. Gardens, Wisley, 

 Horsley Station, L. & S.W.R., with advice by post to the Superin- 

 tendent.

22. SEEDLING DAHLIAS. 



The trial of Dahlias, from a garden decorative point of view, carried 

 out this year in the gardens of Reginald Cory, Esq., at Duffryn, has 

 proved a genuine success, and in consideration of this, and desiring 

 to encourage raisers still further to devote particular attention to 

 producing varieties well adapted to garden decoration, Mr. Cory felt 

 the desirability of holding a further trial next year, and, after putting 

 his views before the Council of the Society and the National Dahlia
