DOUBLE. NAMED TULIPS 
These are all very desirable for bedding purposes. White, red and 
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 per¬ 
sistent, 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 are 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 1 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 will not bloom well 
under the most favorable circumstances.
