TULIPS. 
Cultivation of tho Tulip. — For early forcing, pot some Single and Double Due van Thols in September, place them on coal-ashes, and cover them as 
recommended for Hyacinths, etc., and early in November remove them into heat ; the principal bulk need not be potted until October, and a last batch of 
Touniesol, or Rex Rubrorum, in November. The routine of pot culture for succession, as regards the gradations of temperature, is practically the same as for 
Hyacinths ; of the early kinds, five bulbs may be placed in a 5 -inch pot ; and of the later kinds and larger bulbs, one of the best may be put into a 3 or 4 inch pot, 
and three of the smaller in a 5 -inch pot ; when several are placed in one pot, the Bulbs should be set going in loose soil a month previously, in order to choose 
those that are equal in growth. 
For open-air culture, many of tht showUst kinds art prietd at comparativtly low figurts, so that a charming bloom may be secured for an inconsiderable outlay. 
Care should be taken that the beds are well drained, as moisture at the roots is very injurious j the soil should be turned about, adding a little fresh compost if 
necessary ; the Bulbs may be planted at a distance of 5 or 6 inches apart, and at a depth of about 3 or 4 inches, surrounding them wiu silver sand, to prevent 
injury from excessive moisture. 
Carters’ Variegated-leaved Tulips, (sttmustranon.)

presenting a Yucca-like appearance and producing a charming effect for conservatory or bedding, both before and after flowering. A most unique and effective group, 
the variegation of the foliage equalling the finest Agaves and Yuccas,
