tions... all with excellent strong stems.

V_ STRAIN #303 
BLUE PARROT. (24 inches high). A remarkably beautiful variety. 
Strong stems carry a flower of lovely Heliotrope shaded lilac, with 
deeply laciniated edges, which when fully opened are of aston- 
ishing size. On account of the size of the flowers, distance of 
planting must be much greater than for ordinary varieties. Very 
showy, and magnificent in every way.

Vs STRAIN #304 
DISCOVERY. (22 inches high). A masterpiece in soft clear old rose 
with large well proportioned flowers of a most distinct and lovely 
shape. Good strong straight stems. A perfect harmonizer in any 
color scheme. A sport from the Darwin Princess Elizabeth. :

FANTASY. (22 inches high) Soft rose-pink with strong suffusions 
of salmon and artistic touches of green. This alluring Parrot 
Tulip is a sport from the Darwin Clara Butt and is the most 
widely planted Parrot. The elegantly shaped flowers are carried 
on strong, rigid stems.

ORANGE FAVORITE. (23 inches high). A magnificent sport of the 
popular Cottage Tulip “Orange King.” The artistic flower is a 
uniform glistening deep orange, tinted with rose and faintly 
feathered with green on outer petals. Yellow base. Not heavily 
laciniated. Very sweetly scented and excellent for garden decora- 
tion or cutting.

V_ STRAIN #312 
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. 
3-65c 6-$1.20 12-$2.40 25-$4.35 100-$16.50 
V_ STRAIN #314 
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.
