194 DESCRIPTIVE CATALOGUE OF TULIPS. 



high, and three in breadth, covering a wire frame-work entire, and 

 nearly one mass of beautiful orange-coloured blossoms, producing 

 a very handsome appearance. 



If the tubers are not duly covered with soil, or the pot be too little, or 

 lack water, the plant soon dies off in dry weather, so that particular 

 attention is required just before the flowers expand, as it is most 

 liable to injury then. In every other particular it requires a treat- 

 ment same as given to T. tricolorum. It can now be had cheap, 

 and is a fine companion for the last named species, and deserves to 

 be in every greenhouse.

Earl of Liverpool. 

 This is a third row flamed Byblomen, broken by Mr. Goldham, 

 of Pentonville. The cup of this flower is long, the bottom pure, 

 and resembles the celebrated Queen Charlotte of the North very 

 much in colour, only a far inferior flower. 



Earl Fitzwilliam. 



This is a fourth row flamed Byblomen, the cup good, the bottom 



pure, a steady marker, but will never make a first rate stage variety ; 



the colour being rosy on the feather, and the beam of the flame very 



faint. 



Emily. 



This is a third row flamed Rose (so called), broke from the 



breeder by the late Mr. Lawrence, of Hampton. The cup of this 



flower is good, the bottom pure, marks well, but the beam is of a 



rosy colour, and the edging much deeper, but it cannot be said to 



rank either in the class of Roses or Byblomens. If classed, I should 



be inclined to place it amongst the Byblomens. 



Emperor Charles. 

 This is a second row variety, form bad, steady marker, and pencils 

 beautifully in the feathering, bottom stained a little. This Tulip is 

 sold under the name of Passe Perfecta.
