The old varieties are not recommended, but you will like to have 
some of these new quaintly shaped flowers, particularly for house 
decoration or for clumps here and there in the border or where you 
have strong groups of evergreens. Their artistic form and coloring 
make them especially suitable for cut-flower purposes. Fantasy is 
recommended for pot culture also. Forced slowly in not too high 
a temperature it develops into one of the most unusually hand¬ 
some pot plants ever seen.

panulata, Excelsior. Height 26 inches.

Few, if any, of the spring-blooming flowers rival the Single Early Tulips 
for brilliancy of bloom or ease of culture. They are excellent subjects for 
formal beds on the lawn or for garden borders. While they do not possess 
the same size of bloom and length of stem as the May-Flowering Darwin, 
Breeder and Cottage varieties, they are used where earlier blooms are de¬ 
sired. Many of the varieties may be forced in bloom in January, while all
