Henderson's Parrot Tulips 



Bring a glint of Oriental Springtime 

 to your garden 



These belong to the late garden tulips, and have immense at- 

 tractive flowers of singularly picturesque form and brilliant and 

 varied colors. The petals are curiously fringed or laciniated on 

 the edges, and the form of the flower, expecially before it opens, 

 resembles the head and neck of a parrot. Only the strongest 

 bulbs of Parrot Tulips can be depended upon to flower. The 

 smaller, younger bulbs often throw no flowers — or at best produce 

 weak, sprawling stems. Our bulbs are the best Holland produces 



Fantasy. (See color plate.) This recent product originated as a 

 sport from Clara Butt, the well-known Darwin Tulip. Clara 

 Butt is esteemed for its beautiful salmon pink color; and this 

 sport Fantasy has inherited the same glorious color, except 

 that the inside of the flower is more intense in color, 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 ot 

 soil in the window, attracting great attention wherever ex- 

 hibited. Price, SI. 25 per doz.; «9.00 per 100.

Old Dutch Breeder Tulips 



Bring the mellow tones of the Old Dutch Masters 

 to your garden 



The vogue for this glorious type of the large 'ate May flowering Tulips is gaining 

 great impetus, through the introduction ol many of the exquisite new varieties, de- 

 scribed in the li=t below 



The Old Dutch Breeder Tulips appeal to all tulip lovers on account oi their sturdi- 

 ness, large size, and beautiful "art colors." In size they even outrival the popular 

 Darwins. Under favorable conditions many sorts will grow over two and one-half 

 feet high and bear enormous flower? of ideal form and great substance. 



The colors ot these tulip? are most fascinating; including solid art colors (sucfi as 

 bronze, brown, buff, terra cotta) as well as many combinations of colors that are unsur- 

 passably beautiful. 



When planiing the bulbs in the garden, they should be spaced about 5 inches apart 

 and covered from 4 to 6 inches depending upon the nature ol the soil. 



They may also be flowered in pots or pans of soil or fibre in the house in winter it 

 brought in Irom the cold frame or out-door plunge betore the middle of January and 

 then grown on cool and -lowly in a temperature of about 60° The early flowering ones 

 — those marked F and G — will then flower in February and March — the later ones 

 requiring a little more time. Too much heat is apt to cause them to grow spindling 

 and inferior.
