YOU 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 five 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 laciniated, having curious excrescences on the out¬ 
side. It is not only the strangely exciting form of this 
Tulip or its main color, which is a delightful warm pink, 
that enthralls one; it is the inner color of it, a deep and 
velvety rose color which is more sumptuous than words 
can tell. The wonderful encrustation on back of petals V 
is like an enameling of apple-green. And one of the 
virtues of this wonderful flower is its stiff, straight stem. 
Very lovely with an underplanting of Scilla campanu- 
lata var. “Excelsior.” Height, 26 inches. $0.80 for 10; 
$5.50 per 100.
