Parrot Tulips 
Parrot Tulips sometimes do not bloom satisfactorily, owing to Im¬ 
proper planting. They like a light, sandy soil, shallow planting and a 
sunny location. 
Parrot Tulips do not receive the attention they deserve. They belong to the late- or May- 
dowering Tulips and have Immense, attractive nowers of singular and picturesque form, 
nnumr acnn.iniin all(1 brilliant varied colors. The petals are curiously fringed or cut, and the form of the 
, , nrrl™ m/i i 6 1 ? pcns ’ resembles tile neck or a parrot. They form extravagantly showy flower-beds, are of endless va- 
c n m„i, u , an r .? olor ', an “ Should be grown in every flower-garden in quantities. The Parrot Tulips we import are from the most 
famous grower of these in Holland, and very superior to those usu ally sent out. 
Breeder Tulips 
Breeders, formerly listed among the cottage Tulips, really Torm a 
distinct class by themselves, being unbroken Torms of the old-time 
“Florists’ Tulips.” A long time we thought there would be no room for 
this class or Tulips next to the Darwins, the colors or which are so much 
brighter; but we have been greatly mistaken, Tor, more and more, the 
peculiar dull-toned bronze colors or the Breeders are becoming popular, 
and last year there was a very big demand for them. 
it is these odd colors which form one of the chief characteristics or 
the Breeders. Outside of that, most of them produce flowers with great 
lasting qualities and with a sweet, agreeable fragrance. 
The kinds which we list, with a few exceptions, are large-flowering 
ones, surpassing in height and size even the largest Darwins.

Cottage or May-Flowering Tulips

24 inches. Flowers or enormous size, on long, graceful stems. Color rich 
crimson-scarlet, with glittering blue-black center. The demand Tor this grand 
Tulip has been so great that it is very difficult to get flowering bulbs. To be 
sure of getting bulbs that will bloom, we pay a premium in Holland for guar¬ 
anteed bulbs. This makes them higher priced, but insures that our bulbs will 
bloom satisfactorily. 60c per 12; $4.00 per IOO; $38.00 per 1,000.

This is one or the largest, showiest and most beautirul Tulips in cultivation,

shaded white; fine rorm and extra large flower, held on stiiT, strong stem,

yellow Tulip in cultivation, and fine for cutting. Good for planting in mass
