2'?8 descriptive catalogue of tulips. 



La Belle Chinoise 

 Is a third row flamed Byblomen, of very good colours, the cup long, 

 bottom pure, and is a steady marker. 



La Clarte 



Is a second row feathered Bizarre, the ground rather dull, and has 



a brownish feather. The cup is rather long, the bottom pure. It is 



not plentiful at present, having only lately been broken from the 



breeder. 



La Delicatesse 



Is a fourth row feathered Byblomen, of good form and pure bottom, 



the feathering of a dark colour. 



Lancashire Witch 

 Is a second row feathered Rose, of a scarlet colour, broken by 

 myself, in 1841, from the breeder; the form good, bottom pure, and is 

 a first-rate stage flower. This was bought from a seedling bed, 

 together with the whole of the roots which had never bloomed. The 

 whole stock, after four years' growing, consists only of one root. 



Lavinia 

 Is a third row flamed Rose, and from being called Clark's, I pre- 

 sume it was raised and broken by him. Its form is good, bottom 

 pure, and marks well. I have seen it also feathered, and will prove 

 in either state a good stage variety. 



Lawrence's Friend 

 Is a second row Byblomen, sometimes feathered, the form good, 

 bottom pure, and the colour dark. This, from its heavy feathering, 

 will rank high as a stage flower. 



Lawrence's La Joie 

 Is a first row flamed Byblomen, similar in colour to Lawrence's 

 Friend, but a slightly-tinged bottom. 



Lew old 

 Is a second row feathered Byblomen, of an incomparable colour. 

 The form is good, bottom pure, and is a first-rate stage flower. This 

 variety was introduced by Mr. James Faulkner, of Manchester, about 

 the year 1823, and was sold by him at 63s. per root under the name 

 of Incomparable Surpassant, by which name it is well known in the 

 north. Although introduced so many years ago, it is not as yet very 

 plentiful.
