Parrot Culips 
You will enjoy some of these new quaintly shaped flowers, particularly for house decoration. They are stunning in 
clumps here and there in the border, in front of shrubs or groups of evergreens. Their artistic form and coloring 
make them especially suitable for cut-flower purposes. Fantasy is recommended for pot culture also. Forced slowly in 
not too high a temperature it develops into one of the most unusual Orchid-like flowers you have ever seen.

The gorgeous pink Parrot Tulip. A sport of Clara Butt, with the same 
habits, height, strength of stem and time of flowering. The flowers are 
of unusual and beautiful form, the petals being laciniated, having 
curious excrescences on the outside. It is not only the rare form of this 
Tulip or its main color, which is a soft rose-pink; the shadings of the 
cup are a deep velvety rose color which is more sumptuous than words 
can tell. The encrustation of back petals often carries a delightful shade 
of apple-green. Height 26 inches.

contrasting black anthers. Fine sturdy stems. Height 22 inches.

The Black Parrot 
This rare, black-flowered Parrot Tulip we can offer only in a very 
limited quantity. It is a most exotic flower and in tremendous demand 
by Dutch growers who all are trying to obtain a few bulbs for growing 
on and building up their stocks. This purple-black Parrot flower is so 
unique and strange we thought we would offer a few to our customers 
but we cannot guarantee delivery of bulbs if ordered after September 
Ist. The bulbs are too rare and will be planted by the grower imme- 
diately after that date.

One Bulb Each, not labeled, of the Ten Varieties

Many gardeners are not familiar with these flowers so in order 
to give you a chance to see and-learn to know them, we offer a 
small collection of 10 bulbs, 1 of each kind, without name.
