BLACK 
PARROT TULIP 
The most remarkable new Parrot 
Tulip. The color of this gorgeous 
flower is a deep, velvety maroon- 
black and the only Parrot of this 
color in existence (see color photo). 
It originated as a single bulb 20 
years ago and it took until last 
year to produce enough bulbs 
for sale. We believe we have the 
largest stock in existence. Do 
not be confused by others selling 
Allard Pierson as Black Parrot. 
In 1949 we sold it for $1.50 
for-each bulb. ($1.00 each); @&

BUNCH -FLOWERED TULIP 
A Bouquet On One Stem 
. This class of Tulips is unique in its bloom- 
y ing habit and is growing more popular every 
year. The name “Bunch-Flowered” comes from 
the fact that these varieties produce several flowers 
on a single stem. Only a few varieties have been 
developed so far and we offer here the two best. 
ROSE MIST. The buds are creamy white with just 
a tinge of pink at the edge, but as it opens the 
pink coloring spreads to the entire petal just as 
though sprayed with a fine mist (see color photo). 
G for 65c); (6 for $1.10); (12 for $2.10); (25

ducing 4 to 6 blooms on each stem. (3 for 65c);
