PARROT TULIPS 
FRINGED PETALS LIKE MULTI-COLORED FEATHERS . \ 
These rare, exotic Parrots are called ‘Bird of Paradise” 
tulips by Stern’s Dutch experts, because their flashing petals 
resemble the plumage of flamboyant tropical birds! 
You must see them to realize their extraordinary beauty. » 
Each petal is naturally laciniated and fringed like a rare multi-colored 
feather. They bloom in late May, usually at the same time as Darwin 
Tulips. For spectacular display, plant in groups or as a border in front of 
shrubs and evergreens. Their amazing colors and unusual shape make 
them especially breathtaking in flower arrangements. If you appreciate 
exciting color-beauty, we urge you to plant some Stern's ‘Bird of Para- 
dise” tulips this Fall. Especially, don't miss BLACK PARROT, which are 
superb for floral arrangements and are sure to be a focal point of your 
garden. 
We know you'll be thrilled with these new, uniquely-shaped Tulips— 
delightful “conversation pieces’ whenever and wherever you show 
them! GUARANTEED TO BLOOM.
