DARROT or_ 



... DRAGON TULIPS. 



These belong to the late or May-flowering 

 Tulips, and haye immense attractive flowers 

 of singular and picturesque forms and 

 brilliant and varied colors. The petals are 

 curiously fringed or cut, and the form of 

 the flower, especially before it opens, re- 

 sembles the neck of a Parrot. They form 

 extravagantly showy flower beds, an endless 

 variety of form and color, and should be 

 grown in every flower-garden in quantities.

. . . NEW " DARWIN " TULIPS . . . 



Darwin Tulips belong to the late or May-flowering section. The flowers are very large, of 

 symmetrical form, and are borne ou tall, strong stems, often two feet high. They by far sur- 

 pass in colors and brilliancy anything before known in Tulips. The colors are so glowing and 

 bright that in the sunlight the effect is fairly dazzling. They include almost every conceivable 

 color and shade, from the daintiest blue to the darkest violet, from soft rose to the most 

 brilliant red, and from light brown to what is believed to be the darkest black in the floral 

 world. The magnificent apijearance of the beds of Darwin Tulijjs as we saw them in the intro- 

 ducer's grounds in Holland, in the full flush of their beauty, defies description.
