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 arc 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, and bloom with the Cottage and Darwin Tulips. 
The following areal! selected extra strong bulbs, superior to what are often sold, and ma y reasonablv 
be expected to bloom ; but as i n some seasons the Parrot Tuli ps are rather shy in flowering, to ensure a good 
display in flower beds and borders it is wise to plant the bulbs only 4 inches apart. 
12 bulbs each of 6 beautiful

Crimson Beauty, rich deep blood- 
crimson, with blackish markings, flowers

ders, and baskets, as nearly every bulb 
flowers freely and produces a most brilliant 
effect. Certificate of Merit R. B.S.,
