 late or May-flowering Tulips. The flowers are very large, fre- 

 quently six or seven inches across, with petals deeply toothed, 

 fringed and twisted in the most striking and fantastic manner, 

 sometimes representing the head and "beak of a parrot. The 

 colors are exceedingly brilliant and showy, crimson and yel- 

 low, flaked, dashed and feathered with green, gold and scarlet. 

 Fine for bedding and to plant among shrubbery. They grow 

 ten inches high, and always attract attention.
