What temperature should be given and when will the flowers showt Murillo and La Beine tulips; Trumpet major, Double Von Sion, Single von Sion, princeps, Sir Watkin, Golden Spur, Victoria, Emperor, poeticus ornatus, Barri conspicuus narcissi. A. R.—B. Thomas H. Joy. E. Q. Hill. Karl P. Bauiii. On the Occasion of a Recent VhU to Geny Bros., Nashville, Tena. Guernsey bulbs are earlier than the Dutch bulbs. The flowers are somewhat smaller. French bulbs are earlier than Guernsey, but not so large. Southern- grown bulbs I have had no experience with. The time it will take bulbs to show flowers depends much on when you start them. Started early in Jan- uary, they need double the time they would in March. Trumpet major. Sin- gle Von Sion, princeps and Golden Spur require three to four weeks in a tem- perature of 55 degrees, according to season; La Beine tulips the same. Mu- rillo tulips, if wanted fairly early, re- quire nearly double the time of La Reine. If started after March 1 they come on much more quickly. Allow Double Von Sion four weeks on the average. Emperor, Sir Watkin and poeticus ornatus should have four to five weeks; Victoria and Barri con- spicuus an average of flve weeks. Of course all come in less time if the weather is warm. C.
