Parrot Tulips 
Parrot Tulip, Fantasy. 
These peculiarly formed and brilliantly colored Tulips are ideal for home decoration. In the garden, 
they are not suited to formal beds as their stems, with the exception of Fantasy, introduced by us in 
1927, do not hold the flowers erect. They are, however, very effective in informal borders and in front 
of shrubbery and evergreens. 
FANTASY. A sport of the Darwin Tulip, Clara Butt, exactly the same beautiful true pink, except that 
the inside color is even more intense—a delightful warm pink, thrilling to the eye of the Tulip 
lover. The petals of this quaint flower are laciniated and the outside, or back, is artistically marbled 
with apple-green. Height 27 inches. Each 25c., doz. #2.00, 100 #14.00. 
SUNDEW. Large, well formed flowers of a striking bright red 
color. The edges of petals fringed and laciniated in the most 
attractive manner. Height 26 inches. Doz. 90c., 100 #6.50. 
Admiral de Constantinople. Bright scarlet, shaded orange. 
Cafe Brun. Deep yellow, striped and stippled orange-brown. 
Cramoisi Brilliant. Rich blood'Crimson, with black marking; 
very large flowers of distinct coloring. 
Lutea Major. Clear yellow, with a few crimson and green 
blotches and stripes. 
Double Early Tulips 
These are useful for bedding and forcing; the large, peony-like blossoms are 
highly ornamental, coming into bloom about a week or more after the Single 
Early sorts, and lasting considerably longer in flower. They make the best dis¬ 
play, and the effect is better when planted one variety in a bed or clump. The 
letter after the name indicates the time of bloom; those marked (A) bloom 
together, followed in about a week by (B) and (C), the latest. 
Mailed free at the dozen price, otherwise add postage at zone rates. Weight, 
1 lb. per doz., 7 lbs. per 100.
