Black Parrot 
Vs STRAIN #301 
ADVENTURE. (24 inches high). A blazing scarlet of immense 
size sported from the beautiful Cottage Tulip “Advance.” 
The petals are very broad and heavily laciniated, the color 
clear and brilliant. Truly the largest, most dramatic Parrot 
Tulip we have ever grown. A Van Tubergen origination. 
Each-60c 3-$1.50 6-$2.90 12-$5.80 
V_ STRAIN #302 
BLACK PARROT. (22 inches high). This rare and exotic cre- 
ation is the most unique and distinctive Parrot ever intro- 
duced, and despite very high prices the demand each year 
has far exceeded the supply. The color is a rich, deep toned 
purplish black with a soft glossy sheen. Flowers are borne 
on good strong stems. Available for the first time this year 
in a reasonable price range—and in moderate quantity. A 
sure prize-winner in any flower show or exhibition.

V STRAIN #305 
DOORMAN. (22 inches high). This bold and brilliant gem 
of recent introduction is an unusual combination of colors 
symbolic of gay Oriental festivals. Large, well formed flow- 
ers of luscious cherry-red, crowned in glowing splendor 
with edges of golden yellow. Most exotic and showy. One 
of the few Parrots that can be forced as successfully indoors 
in pots (from beginning of February and on) as it can be 
grown in the outdoor garden.
