This very useful The earlier varieties, DOUBLE TULIP. and beautiful class, while not equal to the single in brilliancy, lasts much longer in bloom. such as Due van Thol, Tournesol and Murillo, are excellent for forcing. Many of the other varieties make a fine display when grown in pots, but they require to be forced slowly. The later sorts, such as La Candeur, Rex Rubrorum, Yellow Rose, etc., are very effective in beds or borders, producing dense masses of bloom of most brilliant colors, which remain in perfection a long time.

778. P. (c.) aoguEtii&Ua. lead-coloured speckled branches. Notwithstanding all these points of dif- ference, however, it bears such a general resemblance to P. coronaria, that we cannot doubt its being only a variety of it. The fruit is intensely acid, like that of P. coronaria ; but it is much narrower and smaller. '* 20. P. specta'bilis Ait.

Flowers in sessile umbels, many in an umbel; large, and very elegant; at first of an intense rose-colour, but afterwards of a pale one. Tube of calyx smooth. Petals ovate, clawed. Styles woolly at the base. (Dec. Prod.) A deciduous tree, thickly crowded with upright branches, which at length become spread- ing. China. Height 20 ft. to 30 ft. Introduced in 1780. Flowers pink, large, showy; Apnl and May. Fruit greenish yellow, and unfit to eat till it is in a state of incipient decay. This is by far the most showy of all the different speaes of Pjras, both of this and of the other sections. The flowers are semidouble, and of a pale rose-colour; but before they are expanded, the flower buds, which are large, appear of a deep red. In this state the tree is extremely beautiful. The stamens and pistUs are much more numerous than in the other species; the former sometimes exceeding 40, and the latter 20. The fruit is small, irregu- larly round, angulai', and about the size of a cherry: it is of a yellow colour when ripe, but is without flavour, and is only fit to eat when in a state of incipient decay ; at which period it takes the colour and taste of the medlar. No garden, whether large or small, ought to be without this tree.
