Carpet Plants: The information you seek is contained in an article in today’s notes on crazy paths. (J.S.R., Lower Hutt.) Where Tulips Do Best. Tulips will succeed in any ordinary garden soil if given a position which is not likely • to be flooded for any length of time during the winter. The growths usually show through in July, but they may show in June if the weather remains mild and open. Plant the bulbs so that they are covered with about 3iu. of soil. (Mrs. C.C., Wellington.)
Cutting Back Delphiniums. The delphinium that you cut down a month ago, which has now grown up again, and bears four or five blooms, should have the top few inches only cut off from the new growths. Leave the remainder until killed by frost as, while the plant is growing, it is building up the crowns which will produce next year’s growths. (R.A.J., Lower Hutt.)
