TULIP AS A FLORISTS' FLOWER. 



Florists call tulips seedlings until they 



j have bloomed; after this those pre- 



j served on account of their good form 



j and habit, as well as the offsets they 



produce, are called breeders After 



some years the petals of these become 



striped, and they are then said to be 



broken. If the striping is good they 



are said to have a good strain, if it be 



inferior, they are described as having a 



bad strain. A rectified tulip is synony- 



i mous with a tulip having a good strain. 



A. feathered tulip has a dark-coloured 



j edge round its petals, gradually be- 



i coming lighter on the margin next the 



j centre of the petal ; the feathering is 



| said to be light, if narrow; heavy, if 



j broad ; and irregular, if its inner edge 



has a broken outline. 



K flamed tulip is one that has a dark- 

 ! pointed spot, somewhat in shape like 

 j the flame of a candle, in the centre of 

 ! each petal. 



Sometimes a tulip is both feathered 

 mid flamed. 



A Bizard tulip has a yellow ground, 

 and coloured marks on its petals. 



A Byblomen is white, marked with 

 black, lilac, or purple. 



A Hose is white, with marks of crim- 

 son, pink, or scarlet. 



The end of September is a good time 

 for preparing the tulip-bed. 



Situation. rThe aspect should be 

 open to the south and south-east, but
