Double Tulips are chiefly grown for their show effects in masses, 
and are very lasting. Where a display of color is desired they are very 
satisfactory. Excellent for growing in pots or pans but should not be 
forced into bloom very early.

worth-while standard sorts.

the best named sorts and in equal proportions of each variety. 
>Parrot < Julips 
The artistic form and coloring make them especially suitable for 
cut flower purposes. In the garden, if planted in borders or groups, 
they are not always satisfactory as they lack the vigorous, straight 
stems of the other Tulips with the exception of the new varieties 
which have straight and tall stems as the Darwin Tulips. They are 
extremely effective planted in long drifts in front of evergreens. 
Blue Parrot. $2.80 each; $34.00 per 12. 
A glorious Parrot Tulip of bright violet shaded steel blue. The 
unusual flower is large and carried erect on a strong 30-inch stem.

flower carried on 27-inch stem.

flower with heavy petals. Free flowering, strong and stiff stem; 
very fine.

Clara Butt, with the same habits as to height, strength of stem, 
and time of flowering. The flowers are quaint and of beautiful 
form, the petals being laciniated, having curious excrescences on 
the outside. (Color illustration, page F). 
'-Gadelan. $1.85 each; $22.00 per 12. 
Violet and mauve, with purple shadings, center white. Violet 
form of Parrot Tulip, Sensation. A very lovely variety, the sen¬ 
sation at every flower show. Height 22 inches. (Color illustra¬ 
tion, page F).

do not recommend. 
ci/ne/eon u/ips 
Here we have a collection of new Tulips which in form and shape 
resemble the Darwin Tulips; the coloring, however, reminds one of 
the Cottage Tulip Picotee. 
When Chameleon Tulips first come into bloom they show only 
faint tracings or delicate margins of pink on the edges of the flower 
petals, with the development and consequent aging of the bloom 
these markings enlarge and gradually spread over the entire flower. 
The blossoms never look the same from day to day and it is truly 
fascinating to watch this change of color taking place. 
Amie Newell. 85c per 12; $6.50 per 100. 
Opening white with a beautiful bright wine-red border, later suf¬ 
fusing the entire flower to a clear wine-red. A flower of perfect 
Darwin Tulip form. Height 22 inches. 
Babv Love. $1.30 per 12; $9.50 per 100. 
White, delicate bright red border on each petal, not too broad. 
Does not change color till in full bloom. Has good lasting quali¬ 
ties. Height 22 inches. 
Dina Dyck. 70c per 12; $5.25 per 100. 
One of the finest in this class. Large, strong flower, opening 
deep rose, then turning to deep pink when in full bloom. Very 
tall strong stem. Height 27 inches. 
Henry Henti. $1.30 per 12; $9.50 per 100.

ties in our Chameleon collection. Height 25 inches.

variety. We recommend it fully. Height 23 inches. 
Wayside’s Wonder. $3.25 per 12; $22.50 per 100. 
Opening pure white with a delicate deep red picotee edge. This 
narrow band of color spreads and becomes more beautiful as the 
flower ages, softening in tone until the entire flower has turned 
to rose-pink. Then as well as at opening it is a delightfully lovely 
Tulip. Height 24 inches.

others not yet offered. 95c per 12; $7.00 per 100.
