DESCRIPTIVE CATALOGUE OF TULIPS. 195 



EuROPEENNE. 



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

 pure, and the colour of the feathering almost black. 



EvEQUE D'AMBOISE. 



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

 pure. The marking of this flower is scarcely equalled; the colours 

 also are good, and the ground colour very pure. 



Fairy Queen. 

 This is a second row flamed Rose, and broken this year from one 

 of my Rose breeders. As there is only one broken flower of this 

 variety, it can only be said of it that it is rather inclined to be Ion- in 

 the cup, although the breeder did not show it so much as the broken 

 one, the bottom pure, marks beautifully and regularly, and although 

 crippled in its petals, took a sixth prize at the Altrincham Flor°al 

 Exhibition, and promises to be an acquisition in this scarce class of 

 Tulips. 



Finlatson's No. 32. 

 This is a third row feathered Bizarre introduced from Scotland; 

 the cup of this flower is long, the bottom pure, and the feathering a 

 brownish red. 



Gabel's Lord Nelson. 

 This is a third row feathered Bizarre, cup rather long, bottom pure, 

 good yellow ground, lightly feathering on the edge, the stamens and 

 anthers bold. 



Gertrude. 

 This is a second row feathered Byblomen, broke by myself last 

 year. This promises to be one of the finest Byblomens cultivated, 

 marking steadily. The form first rate, the white very striking for its 

 purity both inside and outside, and the feathering a violet colour. 

 The stock consists of two blooming roots and one breeder. 



General Barnaveld. 

 This is one of the finest flamed Byblomens cultivated, and is only in 

 two or three individuals possession, and bad to get. I saw it in a private 

 collection near London, and it took my attention. I have tried to 

 get it, but have had Lawrence's Friend sent for it, and have been told 

 that this is commonly done, the original being, as before stated, only 



in few hands.
