 tion of salmon and pink, with flames of rose, and yellow margins. 



To Tulipa globosa grandiflora (votes, 9 for), from Mr. W. B. Hartland. 

 The Committee took exception to this name for a garden variety, but it 

 was. allowed to pass because of prior publication. The variety belongs 

 to the metadata group, and has elongated flowers of a rich dark crimson 

 colour, with heavy brown blotches on the green base. 



To Tulipa Tubergmiana (votes, unanimous), from Mr. C. G. Van 

 Tubergen, jun., Haarlem. A new large-flowered species from Bokhara. 

 It has broad but sharply pointed segments which are deep bright scarlet, 

 and pale green at the base. 



Other Exhibits. 



A. H. T. de Montmorency, Esq., Carrickmines, Dublin, sent Old English 

 Florists' Tulips, brilliantly flamed and feathered. 



Mr. W. B. Hartland, Cork, sent a collection of very fine Tulips. The 

 flowers had suffered little during their long journey, but, as they did not 

 arrive until the Committee had almost finished its labours, there was small 

 space or opportunity for displaying them to full advantage.
