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.

Multi-Flowered Hyacinths 
(Fairy Hyacinth) 
Multi-flowered Hyacinths have been obtained by crossing the 
Dutch with the French Roman Hyacinth. The gracefulness of the 
French Roman Hyacinth has been retained. A first-size bulb averages 
from 9 to 12 dainty, loose flower spikes. They may be used for early 
forcing, since they respond very well when specially prepared for 
this purpose.
