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 following are all selected extra strong bulbs, superior to what are usually sold , and may reasonably 
be expected to bloom, but as there is an unaccountable uncertainty in the flowering of these Parrot Tulips, ij 
used for filling beds plant closer together than in the case of other tulips, say 2 to 3 inches apart. They may also 
be naturalized with charming effect.
