DESCRIPTIVE CATALOGUE OF TULIPS. 1*75 



flower, but the high price at which it sells has had a tendency to keep 

 it out of many collections. This variety was introduced about the 

 year 1790. 



Camuse (Rose). 

 This is a first row variety, rather early, and is also feathered and 

 flamed, and well worthy a place in any collection. 



Carlo Dolci. 

 This is a fourth row tri-coloured Bizarre, the form good, the bottom 

 also good. The feathering almost black. When opening, a good 

 yellow ground, but bleaches nearly white except at the edges. Is 

 only a bed flower, as at most exhibitions this class of flowers is not 

 allowed to win a prize. 



Castrum Doloris 

 Is a centre row flower, fine globular cup, rich yellow, feathered and 

 flamed with a dark brown. This variety is only Catafalque in a 

 flamed state. 



Catafalque (called ?lso Old Dutch Catafalque) 

 Is the same as Castrum Doloris, only feathered; is a first rate 

 Bizarre for an exhibition. 



Catafalque Superieure 

 Is a flower possessing many of the properties of the two previous 

 Tulips. The cup of this flower is rather long, the yellow much 

 deeper than Catafalque, and is seldom bloomed fine except from a 

 small root. The feathering of this flower is apt to run. In this 

 part, when Catafalque was selling at a high price, it was frequently 

 sold for it, and is shown in many places in the north of England at 

 the present time under that name. 



Catafalque (Surpasse). 

 This is supposed to be called so from its partaking of the character 

 of the previous flowers. It has a rich yellow ground, deep brown 

 feathering, and a much shorter cup than the others beforementioned. 

 Is a third row flower, and called Grandeur Superb when in a flamed 

 state. 



Cerise belle forme 

 Is a first row variety, extremely fine cup, brilliant colours, and 

 feathered and flamed. Introduced in the year 1719.
