172 THE NEW GARDENING 



Erguste. A swarthy flower somewhat resembling the 

 well-known variety Rev. H. Ewbank. 



Fra Angelica. Purple ; a fairly early bloomer. 



La Candeur. A massive white. 



Wilberforce. A good bronze. 



Gesneriana major and G. lutea. Giant scarlet and 

 yellow respectively. 



Louis XIV. A fine dark bronze. 



Sunset. Apricot colour. 



Loveliness. Soft rose, not very large, but pleasing 

 because of its charming colour. 



La Tristesse. Purplish grey. 



Massenet. White with rosy exterior ; a remarkable 

 Tulip, reminding one of a Water Lily. 



Norma. A good bright rose. 



Bouton d'Or. One of the best of the deep yellows, 

 richer in colour, though not larger, than Gesneriana 

 lutea. 



Velvet King. A good dark purple. 



Calypso. Soft pink. 



Golden Goblet. Another of the long list of good yellows; 

 a very solid flower. 



Beethoven. Lilac-rose. 



Mr. Farncombe Sanders. Crimson with white centre. 



Inglescombe Scarlet. A good scarlet. 



Rev. H. Ewbank. Purplish lilac. 



Didieri alba. Smaller than La Candeur, but a very 

 good white, and sweet. 



La Merveille. Salmon-bronze, not of the finest quality, 

 but fairly early, very free-blooming, and sweet. 



It may be well to complete the remarks on Tulips by 

 naming a few early varieties of special interest, which 

 may be added to the standard sorts such as Chrysolora, 

 Cottage Maid, Thomas Moore, White Pottebakker,
