^|The leading types of Tulip.— The 
^ Hyacinths have had their season and 
were practically over by the end of the 
second week in April as far as the southern 
Counties were concerned ; but beyond 
being an indispensable feature of spring 
bedding and spring shows they attracted 
but little attention in Ihe horticultural 
world. Daffodils continued in season till 
the third week in April and with the aid of 
the variousforms of the Poet’sor Pheasant s- 
eye Narcissus, may be said to still keep up 
a display. They have secured more than a 
fair share of attention from the horticul¬ 
turist, the botanist, the writer, and the 
artist. The interest in the Tulip seems to 
be growing yearly with the increased num¬ 
ber of uses to which it may be put, and 
the increasing number of species, hybrids, 
and garden forms that continue to make 
their appearance. The bedding interest is 
the most important, for who can deny their 
utility for garden decoration ?
