PARROT, or DRAGON TULIPS, with Laciniated Petals 
(May-flowering). 
These Parrot, or Dragon Tulips, have large characteristic blossoms with curiously laciniated 
petals, and richly varied shades of beautiful colours in the same flower. They are very remarkable and 
exceedingly showy and effective in flower borders, while if grown in hanging baskets the drooping flowers 
look like orchids. In height they average about 15 inches. 
The fo llowing are all selected extra Stro ng bulbs, superior to what are usually sold, and may 
reasonably bo expected to bloom , but as there is an unaccountable uncertainty in the flowering of Parrot 
Tulips , when used for filling beds p laint closer together than in the case of other tulips , say 2 I03 inches apart , 
12 bulbs each of the 6 Parrot Tulips 
per doz. — s. d.

scarlet, shaded and tipped orange, showy 
per 100, 10/6 1 6

and green per ioo, 12/6 i 9 
Crimson Beauty, rich deep blood-crim- 
son, with blackish markings, flowers of 
immense size and very handsome ; this 
variety should be largely used in beds, bor- 
ders, and baskets, as nearly every bulb 
flowers freely and produces a most bril- 
liant effect. Certificate of Merit R.B.S.,
