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. 
Blue Parrot Six $1.35, Doz. $2.25, 25 $4.00, 100 $13.50 
A glorious Parrot Tulip of bright violet shaded steel-blue. The unusual 
Bower is large and carried erect on a strong 30-inch stem. A rare 
novelty. 
Fantasy Six $1.10, Doz. $1.85, 25 $3.30, 100 $11.75 
The gorgeous pink Parrot Tulip. A sport of Clara Butt, with the same 
habits, height, strength of stem and time of flowering. The flowers are 
of unusual and beautiful form, the petals being laciniated, having 
curious excrescences on the outside. {t is not only the rare form of this 
Tulip or its main color, which is a soft rose-pink; the shadings of the 
cup are a deep velvety rose color which is more sumptuous than words 
can tell. The encrustation of back petals often carries a delightful shade 
of apple-green. Height 26 inches. 
Gadelan Six $1.45, Doz. $2.50, 25 $4.65, 100 $17.00 
A sensational flower, reminding one of a Cattleya Orchid in color and 
shape. When fully developed it often measures 7 inches across with 
a blending of blues and purples, edged white with blue-green markings. 
The inside of the flower is bright violet-purple with white center and 
contrasting black anthers. Fine sturdy stems. Height 22 inches. 
Orange Favorite Six $1.05, Doz. $1.70, 25 $3.00, 100 $11.00

low base; sweet scented flower of great size and brilliant coloring. 
Height 23 inches. 
Pink Champion Six $1.35, Doz. $2.25, 25 $4.00, 100 $14.00 
Blush-pink and heavily laciniated flowers make this the best of the 
Parrots in this particular shade. It is a variety which is much used in 
Europe for cutting. We prefer the deeper colored kind, Van Dyck, 
but many people like the apple-blossom color of Pink Champion. 
Texas Gold Six $1.45, Doz. $2.60, 25 $4.75, 100 $17.50 
A bright, clear, golden yellow flower of excellent substance is carried 
on a stiff stem about 24 inches tall. Texas Gold is much superior to 
Sunshine which we have discontinued. 
The Black Parrot Six $1.35, Doz. $2.30, 25 $4.20, 100 $15.00 
The deep purple-black color of this Parrot is so unique and outstanding 
it never fails to be admired. Wayside was the first to introduce this into 
American gardens several years ago yet each season customers request 
more of them. As a cut flower, they are quite fantastic as well as dec- 
orative. Include some in your planting this autumn. 
Therese Six $1.35, Doz. $2.30, 25 $4.20, 100 $15.00 
Bright cochineal-red with green markings on outside. Inside of flower 
is a vivid scarlet with white center tinted blue. This variety is the 
Parrot form of Darwin Tulip, Farncombe Sanders. A brilliant and most 
interesting Parrot Tulip. Height 30 inches. The best by far of the red 
Parrot Tulips. 
Van Dyck Each 50c, Six $2.50, Doz. $4.50, 25 $8.25, 100 $30.00 
This variety is without question the finest of the Parrot Tulips. The 
remarkable flowers are brilliant rose-pink, somewhat paler at the 
edges on the outside. Inside very bright rosy red. The flowers are 
enormous and carried on a strong stem. Van Dyck may well be termed 
a vastly improved Parrot Tulip Fantasy which still is a great favorite. 
Height 26 inches. 
Wonder Six $1.75, Doz. $3.00, 25 $5.50, 100 $20.00 
Brilliant rosy carmine with blue base; very large flower on tall, strong

Particularly valuable because they are permanent. Once planted they need no further care and come up every year. 
Tulip species, coming as they do from southern Europe and Asia, should be planted in dry, sunny locations. 
The following collection of Tulip Species or Botanical Tulips include a great number of beautiful and interesting 
varieties, which show a bewildering variation of size and shape of flowers, structure of the leaves, habits, etc., and 
they only have in common that they grow wild in some part of the world, Asia Minor, Central Asia, Greece, the 
Mediterranean, etc. Cultivation has not modified them and they may be planted in the rock garden between creeping 
plants or in colonies in small, warm nooks where they will come up year after vear without any care.
