The flowers 
They range 
PARROT, or DRAGON TULIPS, with La.cinia.ted Petals 
(May-flowering). 
These Parrot, or Dragon Tulips, have large characteristic blossoms with curiously lacinialed 
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, and bloom with (he Collage and Darwin Tulips. 
The following are all selected extra strong bulbs, superior to what are often sold , and may reasonably 
be expected to bloom ; but as in some seasons the Parrot Tulips are rather shy in flowering, to ensure a good 
display in flower beds and borders i t is wise to plant the bulbs only 4 inches apart. 
12 bulbs each of 6 beautiful varieties, 7s. 6d. ; 6 each, 4s. 
Amiral de Constantinople, glossy 
scarlet, shaded and tipped orange, showy 
per 100, 6/6 1 o 
Coffee-Colour, shaded reddish brown 
on a yellow ground, slightly striped crimson 
and green per 100, 7/6 1 3 
Crimson Beauty, rich deep blood- 
crimson, 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 brilliant 
effect. Certificate of Merit, R.B.S.,
