DESCRIPTIVE CATALOGUE OF TULIPS. 197 



loured Rose. The whole stock consists of one root of the breeder and 

 one of the broken flower. 



Gare les Yeux. 

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

 and the colour a dark violet. 



Grandeur Touchant (Bizarre), same as Leopoldina. 



Goud Beurs. 



This is a third row feathered Bizarre, well known, it being a very 

 old one. The cup long, bottom pure, and very unsteady marker, 

 the feathering a brownish colour. There is a strain ratber steady. 

 It is not considered at this time worthy of a place in any choice col- 

 lection. 



Hannibal. 



This is a third row flamed Bizarre raised at Sheffield ; the cup 

 long, bottom pure, and darkish colours. This variety will, I fear, 

 never make a stage-flower for the north, although it is in general very

 when a small maiden root, but when grown into a large one always 

 comes flamed. Some say it is a good break from the Triomphe 

 Royale breeder. It matters not from whence its origin ; it is de- 

 servedly admired for its beauty, although not first rate in shape, the 

 cup being rather long and the petals rather pointed, yet its beautiful 

 white ground and regular feathering cause it to be highly esteemed 

 as a first rate stage flower. 



Imperatrix Florum. 

 This is a second row feathered Byblomen, was introduced by Mr. 

 Maddocks, florist, of Walworth. The cup of this flower is rather 

 long, the bottom pure, and the white extremely fine, which added to 

 the dark feathering, renders it highly valuable as a stage flower. It 

 is rather early as well as unsteady in its marking. 



Imperatrice de Maroc. 

 This is a fourth row Byblomen, sometimes feathered, but its
