These beautiful varieties show a vast improvement over the old sorts having larger flowers, artistic shapes and new colorings. The blooms 

 are very large, measuring from six to eight inches in diameter when fully expanded. When in the bud state they resemble the head of a 

 parrot, hence the name. They are very desirable when planted among shrubs or the hardy border, also for growing indoors. They are not 

 suited for bedding purposes.

PARROT TULIP 



Fantasy. This product originated as a sport from Clara Butt, the well- 

 known salmon pink Darwin Tulip. Fantasy has inherited the same 

 glorious color, except that the inside of the flower is more intense and 

 borne on stiffer stems. The height is 20 inches. 



Each petal besides being elaborately laciniated is marked very 

 distinctly in the center with a streak of apple-green.. 



This variety is also suitable for growing in pots or pans of soil in the 

 window, attracting great attention wherever exhibited. 

 $2.00 per doz.; $15.00 per 100.

HENDERSON'S DOUBLE PEONY FLOWERED 



MAY FLOWERING TULIPS 



Startling in the Garden — Exquisite Long-Lasting Cut Flowers 



We highly recommend this class of wonderful Tulips 

 which has met with extraordinary approval. The extra 

 large peony-like flowers are borne on strong stems 20 to 

 24 inches tall and remain in bloom for a long time in splendid 

 condition. These give unrivaled beauty to the garden, par- 

 ticularly when planted in clumps of a dozen or more in 

 the perennial border or in the foreground of evergreens or 

 shrubs. 



For show purposes either in pots or as cut flowers they 

 invite exclamations of admiration.
