Parrot or Dragon Tulips 



Fantasy — This recent product of the Tulip breeder's art originated 

 just as a sport from Clara Butt, the well known Darwin Tulip and this 

 sport Fantasy has inherited the same glorious salmon pink color, except 

 that the inside of the flower is much more intense in color; and borne on 

 stiffer stems, the height is the same as Clara Butt viz. 20 inches and it 

 flowers at the same time. 



The petals are very curiously and artistically fringed on the edges; and 

 the quaintly formed flower is said to resemble the head and neck of a 

 parrot. Each petal besides being elaborately lasciniated is marked very 

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



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

 window, as it is the most ornamental plant we ever saw, attracting great 

 attention wherever exhibited. Price, $3.00 each; $20.00 per dozen.

Bizarre Tulips 



One of the oldest races of Tulips, grown extensively in Europe during 

 the seventeenth centiu'y. It is this class that is credited as being 

 responsible for the famous tulip craze in 1635. Bizarre Tulips are all 

 queerly striped and variegated; they belong to the May flowering group, 

 and flower on tall stems.

Rembrandt Tulips 



These late or May-flowering garden tulips form a new class of stately 

 beauty. They are in reality Darwin Tulips wliich have "broken" into 

 permanent variegations — the flowers of various rich colors being striped, 

 blotched and marked with different shades and colors. The flowers, 

 large, of perfect form and lasting substance are borne on .sturdy stems 

 about two feet in height. These Rembrandts are very effective planted 

 In groups in the herbaceous or shrubbery border and will remain 3 or 

 4 years without replanting. The cultural directions given for Darwin 

 Tulips apply to these. (See engraving.)

Bybloemen Tulips 



Like the Bizarre varieties these tulips were evolved at the time of the 

 Tulipomania which swept Holland and neighboring European coun- 

 tries early in the seventeenth century. They have been grown and 

 sold quite largely in European countries ever since, and to a lesser extent 

 In America ; but are considered by many to be too gay for large planta- 

 tions. 



Nevertheless, for Indoor decoration, in the month of May when they 

 bloom, their vivid and contrasting colors are very welcome. For outdoor 

 borders, and for planting among the perennials, there is nothing better ; 

 as they impart gay coloring much wanted at that time. 



The " Rose" Bybloemen tulips are those marked with crimson, rose, 

 pink and scarlet on a white ground, and the "Violet" Bybloemen are 

 those marked with blue, piu-ple and violet also on a white ground. 



They flower at the same time as the Darwin and Breeder varieties, 

 and the ciUture is the same; but the stems are not so long, averaging not 

 more than twenty inches.
