Flower for over a century, although of late years the number of growers has diminished. The flowers

Culture OF English Tulips.— Any good loamy garden soil suits the “ English Tulip.” The bulbs 
should be planted four inches deep and four inches apart, from the end of October to early in November 
choo^ng a day when the ground is in nice friable condition; avoid planting when the ground is wet ' 
h-xiiiimoRs AND Tulip Amateurs.-As the English Tulip often sulfers much from hail 
and wind duimg Spiing, it is a good plan, when choice named sorts are grown, to erect over the bed 
a skeleton framework on which a covering of calico or white canvas is fastened in February or March 
leaving the sides open till the buds show colour, when the covering may be brought down over the sides 
LM ‘ .means hail, ram, and very hot drying sun are kept o(f, and the flowers open in all their purity, 
while the period of flowering IS prolonged by some weeks. 
I®- To those who wish to know all about the English Tulip, we recommend “ The English Tulip.”
