PARROT TULIPS 
When still in bud the flower looks somewhat like the head of 
a parrot, hence the name. Blooms are brilliantly colored and 
artistically shaped, which makes them particularly appealing for 
home decoration. They may be forced slowly, by late February; 
for this purpose only strong bulbs should be used.
