. Handbook of hardy trees, shrubs, and herbaceous plants ... Based on the French work of Messrs.

Plants, Ornamental. 498 Lili acc(i- -Tiilipa. of innumerable varieties, both single and double, and variously fcoloured. It lias tall slender stems, obtuse petals very often striped with white or yellow upon a violet ground, or vice versa. T. suaveolens, the Sweet or Van Thol Tulip, lias short stout stems, acute petals scarlet or gold-colour- ed, or the two colours combined. It is quite unknown as a wild plant, but its nearest allies are Suuth Euro- pean. T. Turcica, or the Turkish Tulip, is a culti\ated form of T. Bithijiuca, a native of Asia ilinor. The petals of this form are scarlet or yellow, and more lanceolate, and especially more acu- minate, than in the two foregoing. T. pub c see us (Olara- mond. Brides of Haarlem, and other varieties) is a hybrid 1 )et ween T. Gesneria n a and T. suael'ulens. All Tulips are worthy of cultivation ; but novertlieless we usually confine our- selves to those species and varieties which long culture has greatly improved, and which are the progeny of the species abuve enumerated. At least they are attributed to thdse three species, though we must remember that the primitive characters are so radically changed in many forms that it is exceedingly difficult to refer them to the one or the other ; in fact, through intercrossing, the classi- iication of certain \arieties must remain purely Fig. 244.
