MAY FLOWERING AND COTTAGE TULIPS 111 



*Melicette. A lovely lilac colour. 

 Prima Donna. A truly charming Tulip. 

 Prince of the Netherlands. Salmony red with a pale blue 



base ; a fine-shaped flower and a splendid doer. 

 *Pride of Haarlem. This is one of the best of all. A 

 vigorous grower, and a superb colour under artificial 

 light. It is a warm carmine rose, of great substance. 

 Regal Purple. A lovely colour to use with yellows. 

 *Sensation. A deep golden colour with suggestions of warm 



bronze touching the outer petals. 

 *Suzon. Pink with a tinge of buff with rosy pink colourings 



inside. One of my favourites. 



Velvet King. An immense flower of great substance. I have 

 kept blooms of this variety with La Tulipe Noire 

 in water for three weeks. 

 * Unique. A buttercup-yellow with edgings of rosy red. A 



charming Tulip. 

 * White Queen. The white Darwm. 



f The best for all-round purposes. 



MAY FLOWERING AND COTTAGE TULIPS 



*Bouton cTOr. A brilliant little bit of yellow, and although 



small it is about the best market sort. It lasts an 



incredible time in water. 



*Flame. The name of this superb Tulip is fairly descriptive. 

 *Inglescombe Pink. An indescribably beautiful colour. Soft 



terra-cotta shade, suffused rosy pink, a gorgeous 



colour when grown outside. 

 *Inglescombe Scarlet. A most brilliant colour. 

 *La Merveille. This is one of the most graceful Tulips I 



know, and as the bulbs are very cheap every one 



who wants cut flowers should grow it largely. 



Colour rich apricot-red.
