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 arc 
extremely effective planted in long drifts in front of evergreens.

♦Mixed Parrot Tulips. 70c per 12; $5.25 per 100. 
This mixture is made from the old'fashioned varieties which we 
do not recommend. 
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.
