COLOUR IN MY GARDEN 



Among the fragrant Dutch or early Tulips are Thomas 

 Moore, Prince of Austria, Proserpine, Ophir d'Or, Yellow 

 Prince, Gold Finch, De Wet, Hector, Yellow Rose, and 

 Due Van Tholl. 



Many of the wild Tulip species are fragrant, and these 

 are most fascinating to grow. Some of the sweetest are: 

 the wild British Tulip, T. sylvestris (that has a scent like 

 hot-house Violets), vitellna, with the bouquet of oranges; 

 Didieri with a fragrance of Sweet Peas; and australis (syn. 

 Celsiana), Billietina, persica (syn. Breyniana), primulina, 

 and fragrans (syn. sylvestris major).
