These Parrot or Dragon Tulips have large showy flowers with 
curiously laciniated petals, and rich varied shades of colour in the 
same flower. They are very effective in flower borders, while if 
grown in hanging baskets the drooping flowers resemble orchids. 
In height they average about 15 inches and mostly bloom with the 
Cottage and Darwin Tulips in May. 
Kr Our bulbs of Parrot Tulips are of the largest size and superior to 
what are generally sold, and may be relied on to bloom well, whereas 
smaller size bulbs frequently fail to flower. 
MENDEL AND TRIUMPH TULIPS. 
The Mendel Tulips present a very beautiful new race of Tulips resulting from crosses between the 
Due van Thol Tulips and the Darwins. They produce fine large flowers with stems of medium height, 
flowering immediately after the Early Single Tulips and before the Darwin and Cottage varieties come 
into bloom, and are of very great value for bridging this gap. They are most excellent bedders, being 
of stiff erect habit and standing weather w'ell. Those we offer below are proven varieties of great merit. 
The Triumph Tulips are the result of crosses between the Early Single and Darwin Tulips. They 
produce large flowers on good strong stems, are splendid bedders flowering at the same time as the 
Mendel Tulips, and may therefore be used in conjunction with them.
