RED CHAMPION. (20 inches high). A paragon of Parrots. The lus- 
cious rich shade of blood red is so brilliant and intense it literally 
glows in the bright Spring sun. Each petal is very gracefully 
formed and well proportioned, and the entire flower opens flat to 
a size that staggers the imagination. A noble, beautiful creation 
that has rapidly become one of our most popular offerings. Sport 
of the famous Darwin Tulip “Bartigon.” Strong rigid stems.

RED DECOR. (J4 inches high). A very lovely new variety of rich 
vivid scarlet, with heavily laciniated edges. Early flowering. 
Strong stemmed. Very lovely for cutting.

SUNDEW. (22 inches high). Although this unusual variety is not 
actually a Parrot Tulip, it is placed here for convenience. An 
entirely different Tulip of the brightest red. Petals are finely cut 
on the edges and covered with crystal-like hairs. It is a sport 
from the Darwin Orion and is tall and erect.

25-$2.45, 100-$9.00 
SUNSHINE. (14 inches high). A charming Parrot Tulip of clear 
golden yellow with artistically fringed and daintily cut petals. 
The best in this color class at a popular price but the stems tend 
to be a bit weak and short. Very lovely for cutting.

ity which has quickly become a universal favorite.
