PARROT OR DRAGON TULIPS 
T hese large curious flowers are quite unique. 
Their form is most artistic, as well as fantastic. 
They are beautifully fringed and lacinated, and 
attract the eye to wherever the flower may be in the 
garden or border. 
The new varieties are particularly desirable because 
of their strong, erect habit of growth. The old standard 
varieties are more desirable for planting on the edges 
of low branched evergreens as they grow in a sprawling 
and twisting manner, the large flowers are inclined to 
lie flat on the ground if not supported.

REMBRANDT TULIPS 
The origin of the Rembrandts is the same as the Darwins 
which they resemble in size and form, but instead of the clear 
even colors of the Darwins, they are striped or blotched beauti¬ 
fully in various color combinations and are very interesting. 
Flowers that are exactly alike are rare among these tulips, but 
we offer two outstanding named kinds, also a fine mixture of 
many kinds.

and large flower. Height 27 in.

CLUSTER OR MULTIFLOWERED 
TULIPS 
Instead of the usual single flower to the one stem these tulips 
develop several good sized flowers branching from the main 
stem. Five, six or more blooms is not unusual when grown in a 
generous amount of fertilizer. A bulb grown in our greenhouses 
produced nine perfect flowers and was pictured by Ripley in 
his “Believe It or Not” column in newspapers all over the world.

BIZARD AND BI-BLOOM OR 
OLD DUTCH TULIPS 
These originate from the early attempt of crossing the original 
Breeder tulips and are a very old race. They are the result of 
tulip crossing and breeding in Holland and France, dating back 
to the early days of the sixteenth century. The Bizards are 
striped and feathered brown on yellow ground, the Bi-blooms 
are oddly shaped and feathered rose and carmine or violet on 
white ground. Their blooming season corresponds with that of 
the Darwin, but their height is less, averaging about 20 inches. 
Planting them in clusters in the border away from other tulips 
gives the best effect. 
Bizards.Doz. 90c; 100 $7.00 
These are feathered and flamed brown shades on yellow ground. 
Rose Bl-Blooms.Doz. 90c; 100 $7.00 
Feathered and flamed rose and carmine on white ground. 
Violet Bl-Blooms.Doz. 90c; 100 $7.00 
Feathered and flamed violet and purple on white ground. 
LILY FLOWERING TULIPS 
We offer these tulips separately, although they belong in the 
Cottage class, because of many inquiries for this type. They 
bloom at approximately the same time as the regular Cottage 
tulips, but because of their form and habit of growth which is 
lighter and more graceful, we recommend planting them apart 
from the stiffer and more robust growing varieties. 
Lily Flowering tulips are especially fine for cut flower purposes 
as they may be arranged beautifully in a bowl or vase.
