Parrot Tulips 
The irregularly formed flowers of Parrot Tulips, with 
their curiously laciniated and attractively fringed 
petals, are most unusual. Rich and varied shades, 
including green, are to be found in the same flower. 
Coffee Color, Cramoisi Brilliant and Perfecta bear 
their flowers on slender, willowy stems about 15 in. 
long; effective in groups in informal borders. 
Ggmma, Fantasy and Lady Derby are taller growing, 
and the larger flowers are held erect on long, strong 
stems. Parrot Tulips are entirely distinct, and one of the 
most interesting plants you can grow. May flowering.
