Parrot Tulips 
The artistic form and colorings make them especially suitable 
for cut flower purposes. In the garden, if planted in borders or 
groups, they are not always satisfactory as they lack the vigorous, 
straight stems of the other Tulips with the exception of the new 
varieties which have straight and tall stems as the Darwin Tulips. 
All Parrot Tulips are extremely effective planted in long drifts in 
front of evergreens.

Lily-Flowering Tulips 
This type of Tulip is now immensely popular in American gar¬ 
dens, the lily-like forms of the flowers being a most pleasant 
change from the regular Tulip shape. They bloom the same time 
as the Darwins and are delightful when seen in front of shrubs; 
few flowers equal them in grace and beauty when cut in bowls or 
vases on the table. 
Slrene. Rich rose-pink with pale pink at the margins 
of segments, white base. Great exhibition flower of 
exquisite beauty and exceptionally fine in the gar¬ 
den .

masses, and are very lasting. Where a display of color is desired 
they are very satisfactory. Excellent for growing in pots or pans 
but should not be forced into bloom very early.
