MESSRS. WILLIAM BULL AND 
SON’S SPRING SHO^ 
In former years'the leading UndoJ 
^rymen were wont to arrange special eitalL 
tions at their nurseries, and inw^their. 
customer as well as the general public 
the^ displays. Such exhibiUons wer* k 
variably a source of great interest, andt 
s^ll profi^ but since the renaiiancc 5 
the Royal Horticultural Society’s 
these trade exhibitions have almost cea^ 
Messrs. William Bull and Sons, howm 
continue to hold a special annual show ■ 
their spacious?; winter garden at Kiaf'i 
Road, Chelsea. ^ 
From the entrance door a broad tiki 
pathway led to the far end of the ho«t 
right through the centre. To left and right a! 
tended semi-circular pathways in each 4 
which were a pair of circular recesses that a^ 
commodated beautiful plants and gave ris. 
tors an opportunity of passing each other dar¬ 
ing an inspection. Fine palms, tree ferns, aid 
tall araucarias, with apidistras, asparag^ 
and ferns, provided abundant and ele^ 
green setting for the fine rambler roses, sad 
as Tausendschon, Blush Rambler, Hiawatha^ 
Dorothy Perkins, Crimson Rambler, aii 
Mrs. Flight. Banks and corner gfoupa 4 
liliums were an important feature, L. loa» 
florum, L. auratum, L. specioeum, and k 
davuricum being specially prominent aai 
handsome, the first-named being represeatil 
by 500 specimens. Here and there groap 
of blue hydrangeas, of C!eanothus denUtw, 
and of the yellow and cream-coloured acacai 
added their quota of beauty. Banks of » 
petual carnations and bays of pink and wMi 
spiraeas and astilbes attracted attention, tat 
the former were evidently the most popalu 
Hut, although all these things were char» 
ing in themselves, and dispel in a msd 
delightful manner, they were more or \m 
in the character of sta^ scenery to proud 
a suitable background for the orchids til 
the hippeastrums. Among the former wtti 
large numbers of seedling odontoelossi* 
raised by the firm; indeed, the bulk of tii 
orchids on view were home-raised. Lw 
cattleya Aphrodite and L.-c. General Bi«i 
Powell were both represented by miV 
dozen plants, and, of course, showed 
siderable variation in colouring, but ^ 
beautiful. Of these the firm has W 
batches, and there are plenty yet to bloo^ 
Several plants of a bright 
hybrid, obtained by crossing Cattleya be 
dreae with L.-c. Warnhamensis, 
contrast with the white, purple, 
colouring of the two former hybrids. 
cattleya Helen was conspicuous, toge 
with B.-c. Veitchi. « 
The finest of the odontogloMums 
crispum Princess Mary, figured m 
vious issue, its bold red makings 
it very haidsome. O. c. Florence, 
Marmoria, O. c. Premier, 0. ajdentis«B»J 
O. armainvilliersense, 0. sceptrum, ^ 
Hallio-crispum, with the purple 
Bonianum, were all good, and of even 
colouring were the odontio^. G• 0 .

A few varieties w , 
Tomatoes. —Gradually harden off the 
plants preparatory to planting out towards 
the latter part of the month. Keep the 
plants steady prog^ressing, affording suffi¬ 
cient ventilation to induce sturdy growth. 
The ground at the foot of the walls against 
which tomato plants will be planted, should tsi^ujjng im«rxu '"j '«r.arlet; 
be dug deeply, after dressing it with a fair Prima Donna, white and 
amount of well-decayed stable manure, lime —very nu , 
rubble, and wood ashes. Thoroughly mix 
the staple with these additions, and make 
the whole very firm. If wall space is limited 
the plants may be grown in the open in a 
sunny position. A few strong stakes should ^ 
be driven firmly into the ground, and wires salmon; Beryl, white 
stretched thereon; if the wires are not too " ' ~ 
far apart, upright stakes to each plant will 
not be required. Put out the plants 18in. 
apart, and train to a single stem.—W. Mes¬
