THE NEW TULIP-GROWING 173 



Crimson King, Joost van Vondel, Keizer's Kroon, Ophir 

 d'Or, Prince of Austria, Proserpine and Vermilion 

 Brilliant. 



Unique. White with yellow flame ; reminds one of the 

 older but not universally known variety Brunhilde. 



Pink Beauty. Deep rosy red with white flush, large, 

 good stalk, one of the best. 



Couleur de Cardinal. Cardinal, with a warm violet 

 glow on the outer petals and flower-stem. Owing to the 

 very low position of the feeder leaf (which, as mentioned 

 above, must always be preserved), it is a good variety for 

 cutting ; it makes very few offsets and cannot therefore 

 be a cheap variety, but the colour is wonderful. 



Alba Regalis. Cream, stiff stalk. 



La Boule d'Or. Yellow, petal pointed and reflexed. 



Fred Moore. Bright orange, an improved Thomas 

 Moore, itself one of the best of all early Tulips. 



Hector. Carmine, shaded plum, yellow edge, a variety 

 of exquisite beauty. 



Le Reve. Lilac, good for pot culture. 



Dussart. Large crimson, a grand bedder. 



Royal White. This charming variety resembles a half- 

 submerged Water Lily. 



Prince de Ligny. One of the best yellows. 



White Swan. In spite of the undoubted merits of 

 White Pottebakker, White Hawk, etc., I am disposed to 

 give White Swan pride of place among the early white 

 Tulips. The flowers are large, egg-shaped, very solid, 

 and borne on splendid stems a lovely variety. 



Crimson King. Dwarf, the best variety for window 

 boxes. 



Retroflexa. Tall yellow, very good for cutting. 



Koh-i-noor. Dark red suffused with violet, glossy. 



To the stock doubles, such as Tournesol, Salvator
