XCviii PROCEEDINGS OF THE EOYAL HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. 



To Tulipa Hageri var. nitons (votes, unanimous), from Messrs. Wallace, 

 Colchester. This is a charming little Tulip, growing about a foot high, 

 and producing rather small flowers, which are, however, exceptionally 

 brilliant when fully expanded. The inner surface is rich vermilion- 

 scarlet, and shines as though burnished ; the outer surface is dull buff. 

 This variety is, for garden purposes, much finer than the true T. Hageri. 



To Tulip 'La Eeve ' (votes, unanimous), from Messrs. Cutbush, High- 

 gate. A large-flowered variety with bluntly oval blooms, which are at 

 once curiously and attractively coloured. On the outer surface of each 

 broad segment is a spreading rosy-buff flame, reaching to the bright 

 silvery-rose feathering at the margins. The inner surface of the flower 

 is dull yellow. The stems are long and stout. 1 Sarah Bernhardt ' is the 

 name under which the variety was originally submitted, and 1 American 

 Lac ' is another title for the same Tulip. 



Other Exhibits. 



Miss Willmott, V.M.H., Great Warley, exhibited a group of new 

 Daffodils, the flowers all bright, clean, well developed, and finely 

 arranged. 



G. H. Cammell, Esq., Brookfield Manor, Hathersage, Sheffield, sent 

 Daffodil ' Moscar,' which the Committee desired to see again. 



Narcissus and Tulip Committee, May 19, 1903.
