or having a range of short streaks running along the edges of the leaves. This border is com-
monly white in the purple tulip, red in tlije yellow, yellow in the red, and red in the white. The
purple colour is laid with ultramarine carmine and white, shadowed and finished with the same.
On the border is a very white lay of white shaded with very bright indigo. The yellow tulip is
formed with gamboge, and shaded with the same, mixed with bistre, ochre, or umbre: the red
border is laid with vermilion, and finished with a very small quantity of carmine. The red tulip
is formed with vermilion, and finished with the same colour mixed with carmine or lake. The
border and bottom are done with gamboge, and finished with gall-stone, bistre or umbre; The
white tulip is shaded with Indian ink in a very delicate way, and its red border is finished with
carmine. In all these flowers there is a fibre in the middle of the leaves, brighter than the rest,
and the borders are drowned at the bottom by small strokes running crosswise, that they may not
appear cut and separated, as in the streaked or party-coloured. When the bottom of the tulip
is black on the inside, it is formed and finished with indigo : when it is yellow, it is formed with
gamboge, and finished with umbre or bistre.
The stalk and leaves of tulips are commonly formed with sea-green, shadowed and finished
with lily green, by large strokes all along the leaves. Sometimes they are done with verditer.
mixed with a little masticot, and shaded with sap-green, that the shades may be yellowish.
The Carnation or Pink.—Of these flowers some are variegated, others of one single colour,.
The first sorts are diversified with vermilion and carmine; with pure lake; with white; some
streaks are very dark, others pale : sometimes the streaks are large, other times very small. Their
bottoms are generally shaded with indigo and white. Some pinks are found of a very pale flesh
colour, streaked and variegated with another somewhat deeper, made of vermilion and lake.
Others again, of lake and white, are shaded and streaked with lake alone. Some sorts are red,
and done with vermilion and very deep carmine.—The varieties of this delightful flower are
endless, and must be studied in the hands of nature herself; applying the practice recommended
in the examples here given.
The Anemony.—Oi' these also some sorts are single and others double. The single flowers are
generally without streaks. Some varieties are painted with purple and white, and shaded with
"the same, more or less dark as may best answer. Others are formed with lake and white, and
finished with the same, or without any white. Another sort is done with vermilion, and
shaded with the same and carmine. There are anemonies entirely white, and some of a lemon
colour; these last are laid with masticot, and both are shaded with vermilion or brown lake,
especially near the seed at the bottom, often of a blackish colour, and done with indigo or blue-
black : the whole performed with very fine strokes, blending the lights and shades gradually and
delicately together, in some sorts of anemonies the bottom is dearer than any other part, and
even of a pure white, when the flower is elsewhere dark. The seed is done with indigo and black
and a very small addition of white.
Double anemonies are of various colours: the handsomest have the large leaves streaked.
This part is generally painted with vermilion, and finished with carmine; the rest of the leaves
are shaded with indigo ; the small leaves in the heart of the flower are laid with vermilion and
white, shaded with carmine, and here and there some large touches of strong colour towards the
centre. They are finished with carmine, by small strokes following the direction of the party-
coloured streaks, and the turning of the leaves. In other varieties the streaks, as well as fife
