Beauty and Singularity of the Colouring. 
The Ground Colour is a pure fnowy White, 
neither tending at all to the yellow or the grey 
Caft. The V iflegticns are Red and Yellow; 
they make a great Shew upon the white Ground : 
and there are in the beft Flowers

3. The PEARL 
This is a very elegant Flower, tho’ not one of 
thofe form’d to ftrike the diftant Eye with its 
Beauty. The Colours are only two, and thefe fo 
- finely blended, that it requires a near Infpection 
to trace them fully. 
It is a Variety of the common Oriental Tulip, 
and flowers with the preceding. 
The Root is fmall, oblong, and cover’d Eich 
a Chefnut-colour’d Skin. 
The Leaves are broad and fhort, of a blue 
Green, hollow, obtufe, and not much wav’d at 
the Edges, 
The Stalk is weak and flender: ir is ufually 
near a Foot in Length; but, unlefs fupported, 
does not carry the Flower erect. 
There are two or three Leaves on it altogether 
like thofe from the Root. At the Top ftands 
one elegant Flower. 
The. ‘Petals are fix, as in other Tulips ; ; and 
they naturally throw themfelves open. . 
The Colours of thefe are two; a very delicate 
pearly White, and a fine Purple: the Whité is 
the Ground Colour; and the Purple is laid on in | 
oblique Streaks, from the Central Part of each 
Petal to the Edge; and in fome wav’d Lines at

a Leaves on it, like thofe from the Root, and at | the perfect Red and the pure Yellow. In — 
general, the Red lies in broad and deep Veins 
down the Petals; and the Yellow forms a kind of 
Embroidery on the Edge.  ~ , 
The Culture of this has nothing particular : it 
is rais’d from Seed among adios? Varieties ; and

Off-fets.

The Culture in nothing differs from that of the

ee VEL 10 Wii Mole 
The Gardener mutt be told that Moly is no di- 
ftinét Genus of Plants, but properly a kind of 
Garlick: as the Name is old, and long re- 
ceiv’d, we avoid perplexing him at {etting out, 
with another. re 
This Kind has long been well known in our 
Gardens, and all the common Writers have de- 
fcrib’d it.
