A PARROT 
TOLIP 
This magnificent class of Tulips is yearly becoming more and more popular. Introduced only 
a few years ago, today there is hardly a garden that does not contain at least a specimen or two. 
To see them at their best advantage experiments show that eight to at least a dozen of one color 
should be planted in a group. If they can he set where they will have a back-ground of green, 
to set them off, so much the better. They are unusually hardy and lasting. Even when the sun 
becomes quite hot, the Darwins retain their fresh, true color and stand up well. 
The flowers are perfection of form, globular in shape, of unusually heavy, wax-like texture, 
borne'on strong stems attaining a height 
of 2 to 3 feet, standing clear of the 
foliage, and, when planted in a group, 
present a bouquet-like appearance un¬ 
equalled in stately beauty by any other 
spring flower. Equally desirable for 
bedding and forcing. As cut flowers they 
are simply grand. In the hoirse do not 
give them too much heat, keep them at 
around 60° at the highest. 
Our pictures do not do justice to the 
magnificent Tulips of today. The grow¬ 
ers in Holland promised us photographs 
and paintings taken from the growing 
Tulips in the fall, but they have not been 
able to get them to us in time for this 
season—we wanted these pictures to 
show the flowers in their full blooming 
beauty which had not been attained 
when we began printing this Catalogue. 
So please, for the Tulips most particular¬ 
ly, depend on descriptions rather than 
the pictures.
