PARROT TULIPS. 



The most beautiful and interesting- class of Tulips, which 

 should be in every garden. The flowers are very large and per» 

 feet in shape, the petals are corrugated and toothed, while the 

 color is the most striking combination of crimson and/golden- 

 yellow, streaked and edged with green, resembling the plumage

of a parrot, whence these Tulips derive their name. A bed of 

 these makes a gorgeous display, paying a hundred fold for any 

 trouble that may be bestowed upon them. 



Price, 4 cents each: 35 cents per dozen. 

 Admiral of Constantinople. — Red, streaked with orange. 

 Coleur Cafe. — A dark brown color. Very desirable. 

 Gloriosa. — Yellow, striped with red. 



Perfecta. — Yellow ground, shaded and spotted and scarlet feath- 

 ered. 

 Markgraf.— Yellow and orange. 

 Ijntea Major. — Bright yellow.

DUC VAN THOL TULIPS. 



They are the earliest to bloom of all the Tulips, and are greatly 

 prized for pot culture during Winter. In the garden they bloom 

 with the Crocus, and are welcome heralders of Spring. Do not 

 omit this charming class. 



Price, 3 cents each; the set of eight for 20 cents. 

 Tellow. — Clear and brilliant. 

 Bose. — Beautiful delicate pink. 

 Scarlet.— Dazzling scarlet. 

 Gold Striped. — Scarlet, striped gold. 

 White. — Very fine. 

 Crimson. — Beautiful crimson. 

 Violet.— The earliest of all. 

 Bed and Tellow. — The earliest of all bulbs to flower; long before 



the Crocus. 



BOTANICAL TULIPS. (Late Flowering.) 



Ocnlus Solis. — {Peacock Tulip.) Bright scarlet, with darker mark- 

 ings that resemble the peacock's feather. Very beautiful. 

 Price, 5 cents each; 50 cents per dozen. 



SilTestres. — (Florentzna Odorata.) Yellow flowers, with delicious 

 fragrance. This variety is the only Tulip that has fragrance. 

 Price, 4 cents each; 40 cents per dozen. 



Greigii. — Bright orange-scarlet; immense large flowers; yellow 

 inside of petals; bronzy-yellow outside; foliage black spot- 

 ted. This variety and the Darwin Tulip are the handsomest 

 of all Tulips. Order a Greigii Tulip and see what a beauti- 

 ful flower they are. They cost us three times what other 

 Tulips cost. Price, 10 cents each. 



MIXED TULIPS. 



I have a large stock of unnamed Tulips for bedding, which 

 I price so low as to make a large mass of these showy flowers 

 a matter of trifling expense. They are excellent bulbs, and will 

 bear handsome blooms. Double and single collections are kept 

 separate. Several hundred bulbs at the quotations below involve 

 less expense than is required to secure a few Summer bedding 

 plants, and in the matter of display they are fully as valuable 

 during their season as an equal number of ordinary blooming 

 plants.

 did flowers. Price, 25 cents per dozen; $2.00 per hundred. 

 Superfine Mixture Double Tulips.— In fifty choicest kinds, splen- 

 did flowers. Price, 25 cents per dozen; $2.00 per hundred.
