REMBRANDT TULIPS. 103 



CLASS X. REMBRANDT TULIPS.* 



A Rembrandt is a broken Darwin. It is rare, however, for the 

 break to be clean, that is, for the colour to form clearly defined markings 

 of uniform tone on a clear white ground. More frequently the colour 

 is diffused and the ground is clouded with a lighter tone of the same 

 colour as the markings. The Rembrandts are always less vigorous 

 and less good " doers " than the Darwins from which they originated.
