Tulip Nomenclature Committee, 1914-1915
IV. DESCRIPTIONS OF GARDEN TULIPS.
CLASS X.—REMBRANDT TULIPS.

Return to: Home Page of the Report of the Tulip Nomenclature Committee, 1914-15..

[For General Classification see p. 9. Names in italics are synonyms. The date of flowering given below and the duration of the flower are for the year 1915 and represent the order in which the varieties may be expected to flower rather than the exact date of flowering, which will vary from year to year; it will also vary according to the source and time of planting of the bulbs. The dates are taken, as a rule, from bulbs which had been grown for two years at Wisley and had been planted at the same time. The heights are measured from the same bulbs and are relative only.]

Where neither height nor time of flowering is given, the Tulips named were shown at the Conference but not grown in the Trials.

A Rembrandt is a broken Darwin. It is rare, however, for the break to be clean, that is, for the colour to form clearly defined markings of uniform tone on a clear white ground. More frequently the colour is diffused and the ground is clouded with a lighter tone of the same colour as the markings. The Rembrandts are always less vigorous and less good " doers " than the Darwins from which they originated.
