Cyclopedia of American horticulture, comprising suggestions for cultivation of horticultural plants, descriptions of the species of fruits, vegetables, flowers, and ornamental plants sold in the United States and Canada, together with geographical and biographical sketches cyclopediaofamer04bail4 Year: 1900 TULIPA TULIPA 1869 to be monstros'i'ties, and were pictured as such. Accord- ing to Solms-Laubacb, no traces ot: them are to be found in the oUl Dutch hooks. They were evidently developed by the French, who did not disdain the yellow and red forms, to wliich these belong, to such an extent as did the Hollauders. At one time they were made a separate species, T. Turcica, and later said to be hybrids, by one author, between T. acuminata aud sylvesiris (E. S. Rand, Jr., 1873), by another between T. Gcsneriaaa and suaveolens (Mrs. Loudon, 18-il). That the Parrot Tulips are hybrids is perhaps true, but to state with certainty the parents seems impossible, for as early as 1G13, among the figures in Hortus Eystettensis, there is one which shows laciniation of the petals to a iiiarkcd degree; sufficiently so, in fact, to be the original form from which this strain could be developed. Besides, many of our garden varieties of to-day exhibit more or less laciniation, so that it is probable that 'Pai'rot' strains might be developed from them by simple selec- tion. Double Tulips seem to have made their appearance at an early date. In Hortus Eystettensis (1013), there are four forms figured, one of which, at least, seems to have been almost wholly made up of bracts, as it is shown entirely green and is described as being 'wholly herbaceous and green.' The other three there figured are: one red, one yellow, and the other white with maroon borders. Solms- Laubach places the advent of double Tulips at a much later date, 1665, and gives as the first authentic record the account of ' Tiilipa Infea cen
