Parrot or Dragon Tulips. 
(May-Flowering*). 
It would be difficult to imagine anything more brilliant or more dazzlingly beautiful than a bed of these gorgeous flowers. 
They are very effective in mixed borders, shrubberies, &c., but not so well suited to indoor culture. They produce large and 
gorgeously coloured flowers, having beautifully feathered and laciniated petals, and are very distinct and different from all other kinds of 
Tulips. Blooming somewhat late, they form a fine succession to the early-flowering varieties. For cutting purposes they are invaluable, 
as they retain their beauty and freshness for a considerable time when kept in water. They should be grown in a rather heavy soil, 
but they cannot always be depended upon to bloom, as some years they produce very few flowers. Average height about 15 inches.

Sweet Scented 
Tulips. 
Tulips are so largely and so generally grown for 
their brilliance of colouring and striking effect when 
massed in beds or borders, that their less apparent 
good qualities are in danger of being overlooked. 
Very few flowers indeed are there which unite richness 
of colour with sweetness of perfume, yet it is a fact 
that several varieties of Tulips are deliciously 
fragrant. The following varieties are all sweet- 
scented and we thus draw special attention to them, 
feeling sure that they would be much more widely 
cultivated, if their good qualities were more generally 
known. The Early Single varieties are equally 
suitable for pot culture or for bedding whilst the may- 
flowering sorts make charming groups for either beds 
or borders.
