16 DESCRIPTIVE CATALOGUE OF TULIPS. 



comes an excellent flamed flower), cup good, bottom pure, and well 

 worthy a place in any collection. Violet Quarto is said to be the same 

 as it, but of this I cannot speak with certainty. I have imported 

 this year the two varieties in the breeder state, and the bulbs are 

 different, but whether there will be any in the bloom, time will show. 



Violet Cook. 

 This is a second row flamed Byblomen, very scarce. The cup of 

 this flower is good, bottom pure and the colours brilliant, and the 

 marking good. 



Violet a belle forme. 

 This is a third row Byblomen, good cup, bottom pure, thin petalled, 

 and is rather a sporting variety. 



Violet grand Turc. 

 This is a fourth row feathered Byblomen, long cup, creamy white, 

 petals rather pointed, and not much esteemed, although sometimes it 

 marks beautifully. 



Violet Imperial. 

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

 and is a rich flamed Byblomen, and will prove a good stage flower. 



Violet Incomparable. 

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

 and resembles Roi de Siam much in every respect, if it does not upon 

 blooming next season prove one, as the bloom from which these 

 remarks were made was but a small maiden one. 



Violet Tkiompiiant. 

 This is a fourth row feathered Byblomen, colours rich, good cuj>, 

 and bottom tinged a little. 



Violet grand Alexander. 

 This is a third row flamed Byblomen, good cup, bottom pure, and 

 is a fine stage flower. 



Violet Wallers. 

 This is a second row flamed Byblomen, cup rather long, bottom 

 and ground colour creamy at opening, but bleaches in a few days. 

 Its colours and marking good, and is esteemed as a steady stage 

 ilower.
