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 efiective 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 are all selected extra strong bulbs, super ior to what are often sold, and may reasonably 
be expected to bloom ; but as in some seasons the Parrot Tu lips 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.

BARR’S 
Beautiful “Cottage” Tulips and Tulip Species. 
All Single and mostly May-Flowering. 
Awarded the National Tulip Society’s Goid Medal (First Prize) at the Temple Gardens 
Show, May 21 th, 1911 . 
The name Cottage Tulips we have given to the various beautiful May-flowering Tulips which 
have mostly been found growing in old cottage gardens in Kngland, Scotland, and Ireland, where they 
have been in some cases for over fifty years. Some have also been traced to old French gardens. They 
are all very beautiful, presenting a great variety in form and colouring, and having none of the stiffness 
of other Tulips. For cutting they are greatly prized on account of their long stems and graceful habit. 
Being extremely hardy they are specially adapted for permanent hardy flower borders, where they should 
be freely planted in large clumps and masses. They may also be naturalised in grass, wild gardens, 
etc., where during May they present a charming picture. Those who have visited Kew Gardens in 
Spring will have noticed these Tulips planted freely in grass, and also used largely in filling flower beds 
on the lawns. 
Culture. — The bulbs should be planted 5 to 6 inches deep on heavy soils, and 6 to 7 inches deep on 
light soils. If planted too shallow they are apt to come blind. 
In most cases we give the heights as registered at our Nurseries, but these will vary somewhat 
according to richness or poverty of soil. 
Time of Flowering. — The Cottage Tulips take up the succession of flowering as the Early Single 
and Double Tulips are going out of bloom. As far as possible we have indicated the order of flowering 
by (l), (2), and so on. (l) will correspond in time of flowering with (5) of the Early Single and Double 
Tulips. The Parrot Tulips bloom together with those marked (2), and the Darwin with those marked (3) 
and (4) in the following lists.
