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 espe- 
cially 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 varieties. All are very fine and will give 
you much satisfaction and pleasure. 
“Bright Tulips, we do know, 
You had your coming hither, 
And fading time do’s show, 
That ye must quickly wither. 
BLUE PARROT. A blue sensation is a fitting description 
for this very beautiful Parrot Tulip. Large flowers that 
open wide on good stems. Height, 22 inches. $1.40 for 10; 
$11.50 per 100. 
FANTASY. The magnificent pink Parrot Tulip. 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 won- 
derful encrustation on back of petals is like an enameling 
of apple-green. And one of the virtues of this wonderful 
flower is its stiff, straight stem. Very lovely with Scilla 
campanulata var. “Excelsior.” Height, 26 inches. $1.40 
for 10; $11.50 per 100. See illustration, page 17.
