Parrot Tulip (Fantasy) 
PARROT TULIPS 
The unusual form and striking colorations of 
these tulips make them most suitable for cut 
flower purposes. The flowers are very large with 
deeply lacinated and encrusted petals. The older

but Fantasy stands up as erect as a Darwin.

TULIP SPECIES 
We are listing here four of the finest tulip 
species. Since they are the ones that grow readily 
under garden conditions they are moderate in 
price. They may be planted in deep sunny pockets 
in the rock garden or other places where they will 
have deep soil, good drainage and plenty of sun. 
Plant 5 to 7 inches deep and do not disturb for 
several years. 
Australis (Celsiana). A pretty species with 
yellow flowers tinged reddish bronze on the out¬ 
side of petals, fragrant. (12-in.) 12 for $1.00. 
Clusiana (Candlestick or Lady Tulip). A charm¬ 
ing little flower of bright rose edged white. Slen¬ 
der tall stem and very narrow long foliage. (14-in.) 
12 for 90c, 100 for $6.50.

ers with glistening black center marked gold. One 
of the most splendid tulips and fortunately very 
easily grown. (11-in.) 12 for 90c, 100 for $7.00. 
Kaufmanniana (Waterlily Tulip). Large creamy 
flowers marked on the outside with carmine. In 
the sun the flower opens flat showing the yellow 
center. The earliest of all tulips. (8-in.) 12 for $1.

Lily-of-the- V alley 
This delightfully fragrant little flower is be¬ 
loved by all. It does especially well in partial 
shade. Plant two inches deep, preferably in a 
rich sandy loam. A dressing of well rotted manure 
and leaf mold in the autumn will insure finer and 
more blooms. Field grown clumps containing 
about 25 pips, many of which will bloom the first 
year. 25c each, 5 for $1.00.
