252 DESCRIPTIVE CATALOGUE OF TULIPS. 



been comparing the roots of Rose Quarto, Rose Carause, and it, and 

 I cannot say that it is Rose Camuse ; and were I to give an opinion, I 

 should say it resembles Rose Quarto in the shape of bulb, but having 

 bloomed both varieties this season near each other, I cannot say that 

 the blooms were alike, but if spared next season, I purpose taking 

 more notice when in bloom, as I was only led to suspect it being 

 different from the shape of the bulb since they were got up. Sup- 

 posed to be introduced in 1TS0. 



Rose Monti 

 Is a first row flamed Rose, good form, creamy bottom as well as 

 creamy white at opening, but will prove a good marking variety. 



Rose Desire 

 Is a second row flamed Rose, very similar, if not the same as Triomphe 

 Royale. Butler says, this variety is the same as Camuse de Croix, 

 but what I have bloomed, I should certainly say were nothing but 

 the variety above named. 



Rose Quarto 

 Is a third row Rose, sometimes feathered only, but generally feathered 

 and flamed ; is a good stage variety but rather late. 



Rose Superieure 

 Is a third row flamed Rose, good, but rather long cup, bottom pure, 

 and colours excellent. 



Rose Unique 

 Is a second row flamed Rose, well known as taking in general the 

 first prize at all Tulip Exhibitions in the north. The cup good but 

 rather long, the bottom slightly tinged, but the pencilling of the 

 feathering very superior, and the beam up the centre solid, throwing 

 innumerable branches into the feather. 



As I find I cannot bring the catalogue to a conclusion before the 

 December or January Number, which will be too late for the amateur 

 to make his selection, I have put down a few of those intended for 

 notice which are worthy of a place in any collection. 



San Joe, Bizarre. 

 Shakspeare, Bizarre. 

 Sir E. Knatchbull, Byblomcn. 

 Strong's French Rose, Rose.
