DOUBLE TULIPS. 
DOUBLE, NAMED TULIPS 
These are all very desirable for bedding purposes. White, red 
nnd yellow sorts, of about the same height, planted in lines of 
three or four rows of each color, form, with their large rose-like 
flowers, beds of surpassing grandeur. Their flowers being double, 
are quite persistent, and being also late in blooming, they serve to 
prolong the season of gorgeous beauty in the spring flower garden. 
Those sorts marked with an asterisk (*) are the earlier kinds, 
which aro not only valuable for bedders, but succeed admirably if 
forced in pots. Those not so marked are not recommended for pot 
culture. A’s flower together, B’s follow, etc., while those marked 
L are very late sorts.

PARROT TULIPS 
Parrot Tulips sometimes do not bloom satisfactorily owing to 
improper planting. They like a light sandy soil, shallow planting 
and a sunny location. 
Parrot Tulips do not receive the attention they deserve. These 
belong to the late or May-flowering Tulips, and have immense 
attractive flowers of singular and picturesque forms and brilliant 
and varied colors. The petals are curiously fringed or cut, and the 
form of the flower, especially before it opens, resembles the neck 
of a parrot. They form extravagantly showy flower beds, are of 
endless variety of form and color, and 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 usually sent out, which are usually immature bulbs and wil] 
not bloom well under the most favorable circumstances.
