60 BEAUTIFUL FLOWERS 



One may get some very fine Tulips from a good mixture of 

 Darwins, and any one who cannot afford the price of named 

 varieties of May bloomers should try this inexpensive source of 

 getting good late-flowering Tulips. 



What are termed florists' Tulips are late bloomers. As we 

 have said, they are flowers for specialists rather than for flower 

 gardeners; but there is no denying their great beauty when well 

 grown, and therefore we will give selections of them. They are 

 divided into four sections: Bizarres, Bybloemens, Roses, and 

 Breeders. The first have yellow-ground flowers ; the second white- 

 ground flowers marked with purple ; the third white grounds 

 marked with red ; the fourth are self- or one-coloured flowers.

Parrot and variegated-leaved are minor sections of Tulips which 

 some bulb-lovers like to grow. The former is a quaint, yet gay 

 section, consisting of some half-dozen distinct varieties. The latter 

 is a replica of certain popular early Dutch varieties ; that is, the 

 flowers are the same, but the leaves are marked with yellow or 

 white instead of being wholly green.
