SHOWY AND BEAUTIFUL MAY-FLOWERING SINGLE TULIPS. 
This imDortant section of Tulips connects, so to speak, the Spring and Summer flowers, and the appreciation 
of apparent, from the ready sale and high prices realized for their cut 
flowers and the oft-repeated enquiry for the "old-fashioned Tulips of cottage gardens ; ' these usually consist of 
the discarded self-coloSred unbroken seedlings of the florists' flowers. During the first J£ S “* e a “ d in 
Florists' Tulips were the delight of thousands of amateurs from the Land s End to John O Groat s House, and it 
Holland at an earlier date A change of taste set in with the "bedding-out system," and our grandfathers 
flowers had to take a back seat; the number of amateurs gradually dwindled, and now few collectioim are to be 
found in the Home or Southern Counties, but around Manchester the amateur is still to be found amongst the 
ranks of those who toil and those who live in affluence; and over the Tulip beds, and at the 
and servant meet in healthy rivalry and discuss the merits of this or that variety of Bizarres, Bybloemens 01 Roses, 
?hes™g SS into Wh4 the Florists’ Tulips are divided Bizarres me those wuh the ground- o our 
yellow ; Byblosmens, the ground-colour white ; Rnaes the eround colour white. The amateur ot the luture 
’will have no reason to complain of the period of apathy of the masses, as the few who continued to cultivate the 
Florists' Tulip were not idle. Fine varieties continued to be raised, 
is now completely in the rear, and England can boast of being 
the stockholder of the finest Florists' Tulips in Europe. We are not, however, concerned solely with our grand- 
day, so that Holland who formerly led the van i 
fafhe'ris Tblip^ °or b'eyond^Vese have sprung I'lp^a 'i^nber or quasi”specles ora highly decorative diaractM’, and 
lo these we have given time and attention in getting them together, and hope annually to make additions of such 
snr'tsas are decorative in May, and can be naturalized or planted in permanent flower borders, shrubberies or 
used for filling beds, etc. Mr. William Robinson in his paper at the Conference on Hardy Flowers, described 
his success in naturalizing Tulipa sylvestris, and recommends naturalizing I clips in copses or drives through 
woods. If in cottage gardens, Tulips, such as we have referred to, remain uninjured and undistuibed for many 
years why should not the same success attend their being naturalized in copses, etc..
