Here are a few chcup and useful May-flowering or cot- tagfi varieties for culture in flats: Bou- toii d'Or, golden yellow; Gesneriana spatliulata, rich scarlet; Picotee, white, marjiined pink; Golden Crown, yellow edged red. The grandest of the late tulips, however, are the Darwins. Some of these force well, notably Pride of Haiiilem, carmine pink, which I have seen with 24-inch stems in January. One or two other fine sorts are: Gretchen, pink; Wedding Veil, white shaded lilac; Clara Butt, rich apple blossom, a lovely color; Mme. Krelage, bright pink; Lord Duncan, carmine red. Narcissi. Narcissi for cutting far exceed in value all other Dutch bulbs and from Mie time the first yellow trumpets are in, which usually is Christmas, until the last poeticus and double gardenia- scented have passed, some five months have elapsed. The best single narcissi are (Jolden Spur, Emperor, Victoria, Princeps maximus, Silver Spur and Trunii)et major, among the large trum- pets. In the short trumpets, Sir Wat- kin, poeticus ornatus, Campernel rugu- losus and Barri conspicuus are cheap and good. Of the doubles, Von Sion, while a big, coarse flower, still has a large sale. Sulphur Phoenix is a beauti- ful flower with a delicious odor, good for later blooming. The old alba plena •Jtlorata, often seen at Memorial dav, is one that cannot be forced. In addition to the well known Paper "hites, belonging to the polvanthus narcissus section, Grand Monarque, '•rand Primo and Bazelman major are nne tor pot culture or cutting. The poet;,/, narcissi are getting cheaper each >''ai and, either in pots, pans or out- •'"""-. are satisfactory. A good quar- tett. are: Irene, sulphur yell
