A new race of Tulips which produce only solid self colors 
and bloom early in May. The flowers are of great size like 
Gesneriana and are borne on tall graceful stems. The colors 
are exceedingly rich and varied, ranging through all the 
shades of rose, deep red, violet, purple-blues to coal black. 
They are probably the most showy class of Tulips in culti¬ 
vation, a bed of them producing an effect which for rich 
splendor is not surpassed by any other flower. A valuable 
novelty which all should try.

garden, as well as the house for winter.

Parrot Th*iP s * 
A flower more bizarre, fantastic or grotesque, would be 
hard to find. A bed or clump of them always attracts much 
attention. They are six, seven and eight inches across, with 
petals toothed, horned, twisted and waved, now loosely in¬ 
curved, now spread flatly out like a star. Some are yellow, 
some are crimson, or again dashed, flaked or feathered with 
green, gold or scarlet. Fine to plant among shrubbery, or 
for bedding. They grow ten inches in height, and bloom 
just after the double Tulips.
