Parrot Tulips 
You will like to have some of these quaintly shaped 
flowers, particularly for house decoration or for clumps here 
and there in the border or where you have strong groups 
of evergreens. Their artistic form and coloring make them 
especially suitable for cutflower purposes or for long drifts 
FANTASY. The magnificent pink Parrot Tulip. 
A sport of Clara Butt, with the same habits in 
every way as to color, height, strength of stem, 
and time of flowering. The flowers are of quaint 
and beautiful form, the petals being laciniated, 
having curious excrescences on the outside. It is 
not only the strangely-exciting form of this tulip 
or its main color, which is a delightful warm pink, 
that enthralls one; it is the inner color of it, a 
deep and velvety rose color which is more sump¬ 
tuous than words can tell. The wonderful en¬ 
crustation on back of petals is like an enameling 
of apple-green. And one of the virtues of this 
wonderful flower is its stiff straight stem. We 
are very glad to be in a position to offer this 
fine tulip at a moderate price, if purchased with 
other varieties. $1.40 for 10; $11.50 per 100. 
GADELAN. A sensational novelty, resembling a 
catleya orchid in color and shape. When fully 
developed it often measures six to seven inches 
across with a blending of blues and purples, edged 
against a deep green background. 
After careful study it is my opinion that five varieties 
only should be recommended this year in our book. All 
are very fine and will give you much satisfaction and 
pleasure.

of the flower is bright violet-purple with white 
center and contrasting black anthers. Fine sturdy

blue edge. Height, 28 inches. $3 for 10; $27.50 
per 100. 
SUNSHINE. Medium size flower of a bright 
golden yellow. This attractive tulip is a sport 
from Cottage Tulip Bouton d’Or. An exquisite 
novelty. Each, $3. 
THeReSE. A beautiful large tulip carried on a 
fine stem. This attractive variety is a sport of 
the well known “Mr. Farncombe Sanders” which 
it resembles in color, being a brilliant rosy-red. 
Each, $1.75. 
“The Cottage, the Darwin and the English 
Florist’s tulip, these are the three arbitrary divi¬ 
sions of this Arabian Nights’ treasure, which, 
buried once, reduplicates itself and increases year 
by year.”
