Parrot Culips 
You will enjoy some of these new quaintly shaped flowers, particularly for house decoration. They are stunning in 
clumps here and there in the border, in front of shrubs or groups of evergreens. Their artistic form and coloring 
make them especially suitable for cut-flower purposes. Fantasy is recommended for pot culture also. Forced slowly, in 
not too high a temperature, it develops into one of the most unusual Orchid-like flowers you have ever seen.

The Black Parrot Six $1.75, Doz. $3.00, 25 $5.50, 100 $20.00 
This rare, black-flowered Parrot Tulip we can offer only in a very 
limited quantity. It is a most exotic flower and in tremendous demand 
by Dutch growers who are all trying to obtain a few bulbs for growing 
on and building up their stocks. This purple-biack Parrot flower is so 
unique and strange we thought we would offer a few tc our customers 
but we cannot guarantee delivery of bulbs if ordered after September 
lst. The bulbs are too rare and will be planted by the grower imme- 
diately after that date.

The result of crossing Kaufmanniana with the Darwin. The flowers 
are long and large, carried on stout stems holding the blossom boldly 
upright. All are about 27 inches in height and of remarkably robust 
habit, resisting disease or all sorts of ailments. Their coloring is 
unique and most attractive. Inga Hume being greatly admired at 
London, Paris, and Berlin Flower shows. Easily grown and tremen- 
dously long lasting. In the garden they will outlast any Tulip in 
existence. The bulbs multiply rapidly. May we suggest you plant a 
few this fall. 
Inga Hume Six $1.30, Doz. $2.15, 25 $3.75, 100 $13.00 
Inside deep yellow slightly sprayed red, outside red with broad, shapely 
lined yellow edge, large black base, perfectly formed large flower on 
erect stem, very fine variety. Highly recommended for forcing, it will 
outlast any other Tulip and becomes more beautiful as the flower ages. 
Height 24 inches. 
Nulti Flowered Culips 
Bunch-flowering or Multi-flowered Tulips are a most interesting lot. 
Instead of producing the conventional single stem with one bloom on 
top, the varieties offered under this heading all grow a strong main 
stem with from three to six branches half way up the stem, each side 
shoot or branch carrying its own flower. The result is that three to 
six, or sometimes eight, flowers are obtained from one bulb on one 
stem. All the blooms are of good size, are gracefully spaced and as 
you can well imagine, produce an unusual and great mass of color. 
Rose Mist Six $1.40, Doz. $2.50, 25 $4.50, 100 $16.00 
A lovely pink-colored variety with five to six flowers open at the same 
time. We highly recommend this variety as it is without question one of 
the best pinks. Height 26 inches. 
Wallflower Six $1.40, Doz. $2.50, 25 $4.50, 100 $16.00 
Shiny Wallflower-red, interior clear yellow. Of vigorous growth; tall 
straight stem with five or more good sized flowers. A favorite in all 
trial gardens in America. Highly recommended. Height 27 inches. 
Multi-Flowered Tulips in Mixture 
Six $1.40, Doz. $2.45, 25 $4.45, 100 $15.75 
There are several more varieties of bunch-flowered Tulips available in 
Holland. We, however, list only the two most popular because of their 
unusual colors. This mixture contains the kinds offered as well as several 
others in many shades. Tulipa Kaufmanniana
