OF GARDENING. 
TRICHOPILIA. ‘To the species described 
pp. 83-4, the following should now be added: 
T. laxa (loose). /. in loose, erect racemes, produced out of 
broad, obtuse, short, membranous, spotted bracts ; sepals and 
petals pale, watery green, faintly tinged with purple, erect, 
linear-lanceolate, equal ; lip cream-colour. JU. linear-oblong. SYN. 
Pilumna laxa (B. R. 1846, 57). 
T. 1. flaveola(yellowish). l. having yellowish-white sepals and 
petals. 1884. 
TRICHOSTEMA. To the information given on 
p- 86, the following should now be added. For culture, 
see Salvia, on p. 349, Vol. III. 
T. Parishii (Parish’s). . bluish-purple, with very long, pro- 
jecting stamens, disposed in long, virgate, interrupted spikes ; 
inflorescence wholly clothed with purple, woolly hairs. J. entire, | 
linear. Stems simple. h. 14ft. South California. An interest- | 
ing, half-hardy sub-shrub, 
TRIDAX. To the species described on p. 87, the 
following variety should now be added. It “has been 
treated as a half-hardy plant, but will probably succeed 
with the treatment afforded hardy annuals, if not sown 
too early” (W. Thompson). 
T. bicolor rosea (two-coloured, pink). jl.-heads 1}in. to nearly 
2in. across ; ray florets rose-coloured, fifteen to eighteen, rather 
broad, three-toothed; disk yellow. Summer. J., basal ones 
somewhat triangular, 2in. long, lin. broad, strongly nerved, the 
margins widely toothed ; upper ones becoming gradually 
narrower and smaller, most of them quite entire. h. lft. to 
lift. North Mexico, 1887. (G. C. ser. iii., vol. ii., p. 553.) 
TRITELEIA GRANDIFLORA. A synonym of 
Brodiza Douglasii (which see). 
TULIPA. To the species and varieties described on 
pp. 104-8, the following should now be added: 
T. Billietiana (Cardinal Billiet’s). A variety of 7. Didieri. 
T. Dideri Billietiana (Cardinal Billiet’s). ., perianth wholly 
yellow, the outer segments acute, the inner ones rounded at 
apex. Switzerland, 1888. 
T. linifolia (Flax-leaved). /., perianth of a brilliant vermilion- 
scarlet, nearly 2}in. in diameter, with a black blotch in the 
centre ; segments spreading, alternately obcordate and cuneate ; 
anthers yellow; scape 6in. high. J. about three, lanceolate, 
gradually tapering, boat-shaped, the margins crenate, revolute, 
886. (R. G. 1235, d-f.) 
T. viridiflora (green-flowered). jl. pale yellow and green. An in- 
teresting plant, the origin of which is unknown—doubtless derived 
from 7’. Gesneriana, and flowering rather later than the type of 
that species. ‘‘Altbough it has no claim to beauty, it is of 
interest as being a possible progenitor of the far-famed Parrot 
Tulips of the present day” (D. Dewar). (Gn. xxxii. 514.) 
VARIETIES. These choice old garden flowers are now 
being inquired after by amateurs. Many persons in the 
South of England seem desirous of emulating those 
amateurs near Manchester and in the Midland Counties 
who have continued to cultivate this historical flower 
through a period of comparative neglect. An old author 
says: ‘The Tulip asketh a rich soil and the careful hand 
of the gardener.” This is well known to those who grow 
flowers for exhibition purposes, and they are ever careful 
to trench the ground up well, to manure it sufficiently, 
and, above all, to protect the delicate blossoms from beating 
rains. Canvas shading of some kind, fixed on a frame- 
work, the roof portion to move up and down on rollers, is 
usually adopted for this purpose. 
The florists’ Tulips are divided into six classes, viz. : 
(I.) Feathered Bizarres, (II.) Flamed Bizarres, (III.) 
Feathered Bybleemens, (IV.) Flamed Bybleemens, (V.) 
Feathered Roses, and (VI.) Flamed Roses. The varieties 
are very numerous; in fact, there are many hundreds 
grown under different names in England and on the 
Continent. On the other hand, the number of really good 
flowers, correct in their markings, with stamens unstained, 
and pure in the base of the cup, scarcely exceeds six in 
each class. The best exhibition varieties are here given. 
I. Feathered Bizarres. COMMANDER (Marsden), ground- 
colour full, deep yellow, with heavy, almost black feathering ; 
the colour improves as the flower expands to its full size. 
DEMOSTHENES (Headly), ground-colour rich, bright yellow, 
with reddish-brown feathering; it has usually a tinge of 
darker yellow round the base of the cup, which is a fault. 
GARIBALDI (Ashmole), ground-colour orange-yellow, with heavy, 
rich chestnut-brown feathering; very distinct. MASTERPIECE

s 
Tulipa—continued. 
(Slater), pure gold ground-colour, with a beautifully worked, 
glossy, raven-black feather; a splendid feathered Tulip. Sir 
JOSEPH PAXTON (Willison), ground-colour pure, deep, rich yellow, 
with beautifully pencilled, dark reddish-brown feathering. 
WILLIAM WILSON (Hardy), ground-colour beautiful, clear lemon- 
yellow, with very bold and richly pencilled, black feathering. 
II. Flamed Bizarres. It may be well to remark here that 
the same variety of Tulip is found both in the feathered and in 
the flamed state, and one variety may be more esteemed as 
a feathered flower, while another is at its best in the flamed 
state. AJAX (Hardy), ground-colour lemon-yellow, flamed rich 
claret ; a very distinct and effective variety. Dr. HArpy (Storer), 
ground-colour rich, deep orange, vividly flamed reddish-scarlet ; 
very rarely found in the feathered state. ORION (Storer), ground- 
colour rich orange-red, with a scarlet tint in the flame ; a variety 
of beautiful form and great substance of petal. Sir JOSEPH 
PAXTON, ground-colour rich, deep yellow, brilliant in flame of 
a rich, dark reddish-brown; the finest flamed Tulip. SuRPAss 
POLYPHEMUS (Barlow), ground-colour lemon-yellow, with massive 
flame of glossy black; probably distinct from, and decidedly 
superior to, the old flamed POLYPHEMUS; its base and stamens 
are always pure. WILLIAM LEA (Storer), ground-colour clear, 
rich lemon, with nearly black flame; a distinct and constant 
flower, of medium size only. 
III. Feathered Bybloemens. Aponis (Headly), ground- 
colour white, not so clear as in some varieties, but with pretty, 
light feathering, nearly black; a fine flower. ALICE Gray 
(Walker), ground-colour a good white, feathered deep lilac, with 
a bluish tinge; a rather scarce variety, as it seldom gives 
any increase. FRIAR Tuck (Slater), ground-colour very good 
white, with heavy feathering of pale purple; a large, bold 
flower. Martin's 101, ground-colour pure white, beautifully 
feathered chocolate-purple; a long, narrow-petaled variety. 
Mrs. Cooper (Boardman), ground-colour pure white, with a 
feathering of rich chocolate, deepening to black as the flower 
matures ; the best in this class, and a model feathered Tulip. 
TALISMAN (Hardy), ground-colour pure white, with richly- 
pencilled, bluish-black feathering; this variety often changes 
from the feathered state to the flamed, and generally remains so. 
IV. Flamed Bybleemens. Aponis, beam of the flame a rich, 
dark purple, with flashes of rich claret up the centre; a fine 
flower in the flamed state. BACCHUS, ground-colour good white, 
with lively purple flame; an old Dutch yariety, never seen in 
the feathered state; very scarce, as it is slow of increase. 
CARBUNCLE (Headly), ground-colour good white, with rich, 
deep claret flame; a scarce and very beautiful variety, in the 
style of Abonis. Davip Jackson (Jackson), ground-colour 
very pure white, with heavy flame of a decided black; a very 
distinct and handsome variety. DUCHESS OF SUTHERLAND 
(Walker), ground-colour pure white, with a clear, bold flame 
of light and dark purple; a long-petaled yariety. TALISMAN 
(Hardy), ground-colour pure white, flamed purplish-black, a 
blue shade in the beam; the standard of excellence in this class. 
V. Feathered Roses. ANNIE MCGREGOR (Martin), ground- 
colour yery pure white, with brilliant scarlet feathering ; 
the brightest flower in this lovely class. CHARMER, ground- 
colour good white, with light rose feathering; the best 
feathered form of a variety known as MABEL. HEROINE, 
ground-colour yery pure white, with deep rose feathering; 
petals rather too long, and the outer ones rather pointed ; a very 
old variety. INpusTRY (Lea), ground-colour very pure and 
beautiful white, with bright carmine-scarlet feathering, deeply 
and boldly pencilled. Moprsty (Walker), ground-colour good 
white, with bright, light scarlet feathering, beautifully pencilled ; 
flower medium; this variety is worthless in a flamed state. 
NANNY GIBSON (Hepworth), ground-colour nearly pure white, 
but the base of the young flowers has a yellowish tinge ; distinct 
and peculiar tint of vermilion-scarlet feather; a very scarce 
variety ; it is not of much value in the tlamed state. 
VI. Flamed Roses, AGUAIA, ground-colour good white; flame 
dark crimson-scarlet, with beam of light rose-pink ; petals long ; 
a very old and constant variety. ANNIE MCGREGOR (Martin), 
ground-colour and base pure white; flame intense scarlet, very 
bold; the best Flamed Rose. LUCRETIA (Syn. MADAME St. 
ARNAUD) (Martin), ground-colour pure white, with bright scarlet 
flame. MABEL (Martin), finely flamed with scarlet and pink 
intermixed (Mrs. LOMAX and PRETTY JANE are synonyms of this 
variety ; they are merely different breaks from MABEL). Mrs. LEA 
(Lea), ground-colour very pure white ; extremely rare and distinct, 
and superior to all others in the rich blood-crimson flame; it is 
exquisite in the feathered state. TRIOMPHE ROYALE, ground- 
colour pure white, heavily flamed with dark crimson-scarlet ; 
petals rather pointed; one of the oldest Tulips grown, 
Single Early-flowering and Bedding Tulips. AMERICAN 
LAC, buff, with pale lilac and white feathering ; novel and pretty. 
BIRD OF PARADISE, tine yellow, very large. BRIDE OF HAARLEM 
carmine, with pure white feathering ; very beautiful. DUCHES: 
PARMA, deep red, with deep orange-yellow border. GLADSTONE, 
carmine, large, well-formed. JAN LUIKEN, very pretty rosy-red, 
with yellow centre. JOoST VAN VONDEL, pure white ; extra fine 
Lac Backuuis, lake, tipped white. LA GRANDEUR, vermilion ; 
tall plant. MOUCHERON, crimson, large. OPHIR D'OR, deep 
yellow; very fine. QUEEN OF THE VIOLETS (Syn. PRESIDENT
