BUCKLiEY For many years through \the co-operation of the Netherlands , Bulb Institute, .the Canada' Agriculture Plant Research Institute has carried on a series of test ;plantings cif tulips. The main purpose. of these-plantirt is to determine how various cultivars perform in this area. Each fall the best cultivars of those under test, together with newer,,, kinds unavailable earlier, are arranged in 'their various groupings and planted for display in the Ornamental Grounds at the Central Experimental Farm at Ottawa, The bulbs. selected for this display . garden are based on a good representative number from each group starting with the very early species and finishing with the late cottage types. , Using the information gained from these and previous trials, here isa planting scheme for a succession of tulip blooms of the very best kinds from early season to late. Tulips lend themselves to both ° formal and informal plantings, They may also be blended into a naturalistic -@ setting according to the types chosen. In planting, imagine your garden as a succession of pictures, each one to bloom so that as one is fading the other .reaches its .peak. If your, .m Tin -,pbant-ing, is,- to be,, tri . the' back :'garden," then ' your,. very 'First scheme will be to have a small group of bulbs in the front, that • will lead visitors to the' main display.

Tips bloom at :different—seasons so that you will get continuous bloom from vers. early spring until almost mid-June. . , The very early types of tulips such as Red Emperor, the Waterlily (Tulipa kaufrnanniana) types -and most of the so-called species tulips may be planted in a naturalistic way near shrubs in the foundation planting, in rock' gardens, and . in odd corners where they can be seen from the windows and by, those who pass by. Near , these plant .masses bf early spring flowering types like the red and yellow Keizerskroon; the white Diana; the soft -pink, Pink Perfection; the Yellow Wintergpld, or the vivid red, Brilliant ,Star: These will not grow taller than 12 inches and should be planted in as large a drift as space permits. "Al1'bw each color gradually to diffuse into the adjoining one. .» The beds occupied by these tulips will be the ones you can fill later on with annuals for. they will have passed bloom and be nearly ready for digging by theend of May, when annuals are being marketed or . when those yo,u, sow 'inside,. in the spring will be ready for planting. Following the early spring -flowering cultivars are the Mendel and Triumph groups — newer tulips with tong thick stems that are 'not as ,tall as the Darwin-andCottage'types,•'They' are; . slightty) earlier and -a`:b admirably suited to such for,ma1 plantings as the approachato the house and . the area from the back ' garden td tlie front door. In this group, the 'salmon rose, Apricot' Beauty;, the yellow Sulphur Cloud, and, the bright -pink, Pink Trohpy and White Sails, are good consistent performers. - Follawing this group are the magnificent' Darwin hybrids. These brilliant new hybrids were obtained by crossing ..the Darwin tulip with Tulipa fosteriana. Both types contain some, of the largest flowering lfi'Y►cis and some of the most brilliant ,colors: Most of the new tulips introduced from Holland in the pasta -few years belong to this hybrid . group. - They Include, among many others, President Kennedy, a, large yellow; Parade, the tori -rated red; Jewel of Spring, a yellow that has- been very . highly regarded in our trials; Big Chief, with scarlet, rose -flushed flower's; Arlington, blood red; Blue Hill, violet; Gudoshnik, yellow with a 'red blush; and Spring Song, a large robust red tulip with, a very st1ong stem. In front of "the home follow these cultivars * th Mayflowering Darwins, Cottage and Lily -flowering types' which have longer stems. These are best planted , in formal array 'in measured beds, or in blocks leading to the entrance' of the home or around the foundation. 'If a perennial border exists, plant these types in circles. With 12 to 154'btlbs of one kind within the circle and repeat with other blending or contrasting colors every five feet along the border. E. Viginia blue bells, forget -me -Hots and ».arabis .,make excellent ' ar ietrwpfants. for .tt ese- " tulips and should be divided and planted along with the bulbs, either in,between the bulbs or'in patches between the groups. Some of the best Darwin .tulips are Sweet :Harmony, yellow; Reliance, lilac blue with a silvery - overcast; Princess Elizabeth, dark rose with a silvery margin and White Rain, Good Cottage tulips are Advance, cerise . scarlet; Grenadier, orange scarlet; •Poet,, with multiple stems bearing dark violet flowers; Marjorie Bowen, orange to salmon bicolor; Maureen, white; and Mfrs. J. Scheepers, empire ' yellow. Among the distinctive lily -flowering tulips --with their »pointed petals are Maytime, mauve lilac; Queen of Sheba, brownish red, margined yellow; Dy,anito, orange red; Marlette, rose pink; and White Triumphator, a tall pure -white cultivar., Take an inventory of all the early spring flowering shrubs and trees you Have in your garden and try to arrange a planting --to fit in withgae,,j,��,ar�g,tls flower in. eontrast,>'to the garland spirea.

Best are Artist, with a combination of terra-cotta and green central band; and Tulipa viriditlora itself, green with a yello* band. ' These • -' rather odd, yet spectacular tulips are _more for your own enjoyment and for. showing with pride to visitors. They are not for general display, for while they. are interesting in themselves, they do not form an attraetive bed and do not harmonize well with the surroundings. • NOTICE.
