PARROT TULIPS 
Of all the tulips these new Parrots are the most spectacular. The im- 
mense flowers are lacerated, ruffled and encrusted in many diverse 
* manners. The old type of Parrot Tulips had weak stems but these new 
arieties, being sports of the Darwin type 
® tulips, have strong tall stems that hold 
;. the huge blossoms well erect. Like their 
parents, the Darwins, these tulips are vig- 
orous growers and are easily grown. 
The list below has been carefully chosen 
to represent the best varieties available 
in a good ranze of colors. 
DISCOVERY. Beautiful flowers of 
bright rose tinged lilac shaded with 
silvery-white at the margin. De- 
rived from Darwin Princess Eliza- 
beth it has the same strong tall stem 
and vigorous growth. 3 for $1.20, 
12 for $4.00. 
BLUE PARROT. Certainly this is one of the finest of all bia 
tulips. The color cut represents the color and form un- eS 
usually well. It is derived from Darwin Bleu Aimable -_ 
and has the strong stem and firm substance of the par- , 
ent. 3 for 40c, 12 for $1.50, 100 for $11.25. 
FANTASY. This was the first of these new giant Parrot Tulips 
and is still one of the best. It is a sport of the ever-popular Clara 
Butt and the huge flowers have the same beautiful salmon-pink 
coloring accentuated by scarlet shadings and marked with green 
encrustations. The inside of the cup shows bright geranium red 
with a white base. 3 for 45c, 12 for $1.60, 100 for $12.00. 
ORANGE FAVORITE. Beautiful glowing orange with green in- 
crustations and yellow base. Very fragrant. Strong medium 
height stems. 3 for 55c, 12 for $2.00. 
RED CHAMPION. The picture here gives a good idea of the fiery 
red color and the much lacerated form of this beautiful Parrot 
but does not show its great size. When the blossoms 
BLUE open widely in the warm sun they are as much oN 
PARROT as 10 inches across. 3 for 55c, 12 for $1.90. iy 
SUNSHINE. Pure self golden yellow flowers with 
some green markings deeply cut and lacerated. They 
are held quite erect by strong stems of medium 
height. Do not expect giant bulbs of this variety. The CL. wf 
large flowers come from a rather small bulbs. 3 for ~ bad 
75G 2 t0to2.7%

markings, that often attain a diameter of 8 inches. mcg

extra fine variety sported from Farncombe Sanders. = 
3 for 60c, 12 for $2.20, 100 for $16.50. a 
VIOLET QUEEN (Opal Queen). A charming soft lav- 
ender-violet tulip with a distinct feathery appearance.
