Parrot Tulip, Orange Favorite 
New, Rare and Exotic Parrot Tulips at New 
Low Prices 
No Tulip has captivated the public so much as the new and im- 
proved types of Parrot Tulips. They are noted for their strong stems 
and unusual substance, so that while we recommend them more as 
cut flowers, they nevertheless are virale enough for garden planting, 
particularly as accent plants. See planting instructions on page 22.

graphical locations, but they may be planted safely until December 1 
in most localities. Bulbs for forcing can be planted until November 15.

Multi-Flowered Hyacinths

Multi-flowered Hyacinths have been obtained by crossing the
