PARROT TULIPS 
Bizarre—Exotic—Fanciful 
These have immense attractive flowers ol singularly picturesque form 
and brilliant and varied colors. The petals are curiously fringed or lacin- 
iated on the edges, and the form of the flower, especially before it opens, 
resembles the head and neck of a parrot. Only the strongest bulbs of 
Parrot Tulips can be depended upon to flower. Our bulbs are the best 
Holland produces.

“WORLD’S FAIR’ in di 
When we introduced this new Tulip last year, we said that its 7 K y 
debut in America will almost coincide with the opening of the = y —_ | 
portals of America’s great World’s Fair in New York. How true 
this statement was, is borne out in the letter printed below. 
The development of this magnificent Tulip has been a stroke of 
genius, for it is in our opinion an outstanding Tulip introduction. 
y 
A vigorous plant with rich, healthy foliage, and an unusually 
sturdy stem that holds the massive flowers so proudly erect, that ; 
it expresses the consciousness of its beauty. Its color is superb: | 
the base and lower part of the petals are pure white, and the 
upper part luminous rose-pink. Inside the flower is gorgeous 
rose-pink flowing from a pure white center. Its anthers are \ 
primrose and the stamen apple green. S 
It is a gala blossom fitting to represent horticultural achieve- 
ment at the World’s Fair and worthy of a place of honor in 
American gardens. 
Price, 25ce each; $2.50 doz.; $18.00 per 100.

Sirs: 
Attached please note snapshot of one of your 
World’s Fair Tulips which blossomed on Sun- 
day, April 30th, the opening day of the N. Y. 
World’s Fair. The fact that this bulb was 
planted last fall together with other Tulip 
bulbs, none of which bloomed until almost a 
week later, is such a rare timing job that I wish 
to compliment you on its choice. The blossom 
is beautiful pink color, strong and healthy. A 
copy of N. Y. Times World’s Fair section, corrob- 
orates the date. 
Brooklyn, N. Y. Very truly yours, 
May 8, 1939 M. J. HARNIST.
