176 descriptive catalogue of tulips. 



Cerise Incomparable. 

 This is a second row Rose, good form and pure bottom, generally 

 feathered, only at times flamed. 



Cerise Blanche 

 Is rather a late variety ; a first row flower, fine form and beauti- 

 fully feathered, and greatly esteemed as a bed flower. 



Cerise Triomphant 

 Is so like Triomphe Royale, that I have marked it as such in my 

 book this year. 



Cerise Royal (called also Ponceau Brilliant and Moore's Rose) 

 Is a second row variety, rather late, a good flamed cherry coloured 

 Tulip. The cup good, but the bottom stained. 



Cerise Primo Superb. 

 This is very like Triomphe Royale, if not the same. 



Catalani (Madam). 

 This is a fine flamed Rose, and scarcely equalled by any other 

 variety. A first row flower, the white beautiful and transparent ; 

 the form, &c, first rate. 



Charbonnier. 

 This is sometimes called Charbonnier Noir, which is quite a dif- 

 ferent variety, having a bad bottom, though the colours resemble it 

 much, and only rises sufficiently high for a second row flower, whilst 

 Charbonnier is a third row flower ; and if a large bulb will do for the 

 centre one, Charbonnier possesses all the properties of a first rate 

 Tulip, and the inside is much purer than Polyphemus. Is generally 

 shown flamed, but sometimes is beautifully feathered. The only 

 objection that can be made to this flower is its pale lemon yellow 

 ground ; had its ground colour been a rich yellow, its dark feathering 

 would have left all other Bizarres at a distance. 



Charles X. (called also Page's George IV., Waterloo, Platoff, Royal 

 Sovereign, Duke of Lancaster, Victory, Le Conque'rant, De- 

 fiance, &c.) 

 This is a centre row variety, and rises sometimes upwards of three 

 feet. Supposed to be raised from seed in this country, but certainly 

 broken from the breeder. The cup fine, the yellow rather heavy,
