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 Parrot 
Tulips, when used for filling beds plant closer together than in the case of other tulips, say 2 to 3 inches apart.

BARR’S GRAND DARWIN TULIPS (May-flowering). 
As grown at our Long Ditton Nurseries and exhibited at the London May Flower Shows, where their 
grand stately flowers elicit the admiration of all. 
IMF" On May 11, 1900, Her Majesty the Queen graciously accepted a basket of our 
handsome Darwin Tulips on the occasion of the Drawing-Room at Buckingham Palace, and the ' 
stately beauty of the flowers elicited much admiration. (See Illustration, page 44.) 
For flower beds and borders we confidently recommend the following Darwin Tulips for their 
stately bearing and rich colours. They have been specially selected as being distinct, showy, and beautiful, 
so that buyers need have no hesitation in choosing the colours they require as they are all good. The cut 
flowers form an elegant decoration for vases, and last a long time in water. 
By gentle forcing in pots these grand Tulips may be had in bloom by March, and will be found 
of great value for indoor decoration on account of their lovely soft colours and tall stately bearing. 
We have given the heights in inches in most cases, as registered at our Nurseries this last Spring.
