PARROT TULIPS 
| Giant Fringed Flowers on Strong Stems 
These Tulips have thrown off the conventional form and bear large, very showy 
and most interesting flowers with curiously and deeply laciniated petals of rich 
and varied colors. When fully opened we have 10-inch wide flowers of brilliant 
colors often shadowed with soft apple-green almost its entire length. 
BLACK PARROT. Brilliant velvety maroon-black. The 
only Parrot Tulip in this color. Strong stem and flower. We 
offer the true Black Parrot and recommend it as a most 
unusual flower. 60c for 3; $2.15 for 12; $3.95 for 25 
BLUE PARROT. Bright violet and mauve flower outside, 
inside purple shaded steel-blue. A large oblong flower, 
perfectly formed, with heavy wax-like petals that remain 
in splendid condition for an unusual length of time. The 
most popular flower at many shows this past spring. Stems 
strong and straight, 24 inches long.

FANTASY. Another lovable vagabond which has successfully thrown off the 
conventional Tulip form. Buds are like pointed candle flames of salmon- 
rose. The edges of the closed flower are informally curved and deeply 
laciniated, apple-green shadows rise from the outside base almost the en- 
tire length of the petals. When fully opened, we have a broad petalled 
flaring and loosely built flower of brilliant salmon-rose on a 22-inch stem. 
A true expression of rhythmic freedom.
