Tulipa Gesneriane. From this species are descended our innumerable garden varieties. Of these it is needless to do more than offer a selection; and the most judgmatical is the following, by Mr. Slater, florist, of Cheltenham Hill, near Manchester.

The first class contains all that are worthy of a place in any stand of twelve or twenty-four varieties, and possess every requisite of a fine tulip. In the second the varieties have either fine forms, but tinged stamens, or else have rather long cups and pure bottoms and stamen. Those in the third class are such as deserve a place in any collection, but are not calculated for a southern stage.
