PARROT TULIPS 
MAY-FLOWERING 
a From the time of the introduction of the old earl y-blooming 
— Parrot Tulip, many people have been interested in these 
a curious, quaintly shaped flowers. It would be difficult for the 
most exacting painter to get the beauty of these oddly formed 
blooms. We were privileged to introduce the first May-flower- 
Ing variety, Fantasy, a sport of the Darwin, Clara Butt. We 
offer eight other distinct varieties in the May-flowering type 
Their artistic form and coloring make them especially suitable 
for cut-flower purposes. They are very beautiful when planted 
in clumps here and there in the border, in front of shrubs 
or groups of evergreens. 
BLUE PARROT. A remarkably beautiful variety and one of the 
RHODES best in this section. Strong stems carry fully open, bluish helio- 
trope flowers of enormous size with laciniated edges. Height 30 in. 
$1.40 for 10, $12.00 per 100 

FANTASY. A sport of the Darwin Tulip, Clara Butt; exactly the 
same beautiful true pink, except that the inside is even more in- 
G tense—a delightful warm pink, thrilling to the eye of the Tulip- 

lover. The petals of this quaint flower are laciniated and the out- 
side or back is artistically marbled with apple-green. Fantasy 
grows the same height as Clara Butt and blooms at the same time 
outdoors. Height 27 in. $1.40 for 10, $12.00 per 100 
LILY-FLOWERING ~s 
TULIPS 
MAY-FLOWERING 
This type of Tulip, which is now becoming popular in 
American gardens, is the result of crossing the urn-shaped 
Tulip, Retroflexa, with one of the pink Darwins. The varieties, 
some of which we have previously listed among our Cottage 
and Hybrid Tulips, are very decorative. The flowers are urn- 
shaped, with long, recurving petals that give them a lily-like 
shape. They bloom at the same time as the Darwin, Breeder, 
and Cottage Tulips.
