valuable for planting in the rock garden or for drifts in 
front of or below evergreens; may also be attractively used 
for clumps here and there in the early flower border. In 
early April the delightful, very showy flowers appear, 
about six inches above the ground, spreading themselves

PARROT TULIPS 
Y OU will like to have some of these quaintly shaped flowers, particularly for house decoration or for clumps here and 
there in the border or where you have strong groups of evergreens. Their artistic form and coloring make them 
especially suitable for cut-flower purposes or for long drifts against a deep green background. 
After careful study we have decided to confine ourselves to the following three varieties. All are very fine and will 
give you much satisfaction and pleasure. 
FANTASY. The magnificent pink parrot tulip. A sport 
of “Clara Butt,” with the same habits in every way as 
to color, height, strength of stem, and time of flowering. 
The flowers are of quaint and beautiful form, the petals 
being Iaciniated, having curious excrescences on the out¬ 
side. It is not only the strangely exciting form of this tulip
