tion, and all will be found extremely effective for bedding.

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. They 
belong to the late- or May-flowering Tulips, and have immense, at¬ 
tractive 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 the 
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.

this. They should be planted m the fall, and set from one to two inches below the surface of the ground. They can be planted with a 
narrow trowel or stlff-bladed knife. When a large quantity is to be planted, a very convenient implement can be made in the following mail-
