PARROT, or DRAGON TULIPS, vjith 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 1 5 inches, and bloom with the Cottage and Darwin Tulips. 
The folltrwingareall 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 ftosver beds and borders it is wise to plant the bulbs only 4 inches apart. 
12 bulbs each of 6 beautiful yarieties, 7 s. 6d. ; 6 each, Is.
