Botanical Tulips 
The Botanical and wild Tulip species are mostly na¬ 
tives of Central Asia and are quite different in habit, re¬ 
quirements and uses from all other Tulips. Their popu¬ 
larity is increasing each year as they surely have a grace 
and charm that endear them to everyone. Plant in a 
sunny location and well-drained soil. They deserve a 
place in every rockery and hardy border. All are early 
blooming—some in April, others in early May.

Parrot Tulips 
The irregularly formed flowers of Parrot Tulips, with their curiously 
laciniated and attractively fringed petals, are most unusual. Rich and 
varied shades, including green, are to be found in the same flower. Coffee 
Color, Cramoisi Brilliant and Perfecta bear their large flowers on slender, 
willowy stems about 15 in. long; effective in groups in informal borders. 
Gemma, Fantasy and Lady Derby bear their flowers on erect, strong 
stems. Parrot Tulips are entirely distinct, and one of the most interesting 
plants you can grow. May flowering. 
9342 Fantasy Universally popular and considered 
by many as the most beautiful of all Tulips. Bright 
geranium-red shaded salmon-rose changing to cream- 
pink at edges. Emerald green markings and spots on 
back of petals and the deep velvety rose color cf the 
interior add so much to the beauty of the attractive, 
laciniated blooms, which are very large and carried on 
strong, erect stems, 18 to 21 in. high. Has great lasting 
qualities, making it fine for cutting. Splendid forcer.
