TULIP SARAH HEADLEY. 
(Plate 142). 
It is now eight years since we figured a Rose coloured Tulip. 
On the 1st of August, 1850, we presented our readers with a 
very correct likeness, by Mr. Andrews, of Scarnell’s Bijou, a 
small bright variety, which has unfortunately proved so incon¬ 
stant, as to be almost gone out of cultivation. The subject 
of our present plate is, on the contrary, one of the most 
constant Tulips grown, and being always feathered and never 
flamed, makes it the more valuable. This very beautiful 
variety was raised by R. Headley, Esq., of Stapleford, 
near Cambridge, and was broken in 1850. It is a third row 
flower, of very erect strong habit, the bloom being of great 
substance. The form is that preferred by connoisseurs of the 
Tulip, while the marking is a deep solid feather, on the purest 
white ground. Compared with bizarres we are very short of 
good Rose Tulips, and more particularly of feathered varieties. 
We subjoin a list of twenty of the best and most constant 
flowers in each class, with the height attained by each.
