2204. Other varieties of early, single, and double tulips, afford even greater 

 material for this kind of display. Among them there are several violet 

 colours, such as Blue Flag, &c., which approach to and may take the place of 

 blues. Nearly all the arrangements of colours already recommended and 

 illustrated in this work can be carried out by the aid of tulips alone, or, at 

 least, slightly assisted with crocuses. Their neat habit renders them pecu- 

 liarly adapted for describing patterns on beds or borders, and frames : cir- 

 cular, curved, or polychrome forms may be indicated by them to the greatest 

 nicety. The following are good varieties : —
