B. Ballard, Pranklin Park, Va, whose tulip beds include simost all varieties or the blooms, today brought to The Star the two pictured above. On the left is a pink tulip of the Farnscombe-Sanders variety, the oddity of which consists in a “leaf-petal” just below the flower itself. The extra member, grow- ing out of the stem like a leaf, is green in the center, as a leaf should be, but the edges are pink, the same as the petals of the tulip itself—even the texture of the leaf changes from that of a green leaf to that of a petal at a distinct point of change. ‘The bloom on the right is of the Tulip Noir variety, and shows an example of three flowers growing out from one stem. Mr. Ballard yesterday bmwht to The Star one of this variety with four blossoms on one stem, but it was broken before it could be photographed. The nowtu of the Tulip Noir are a deep purple. Department of Agriculture tulip luthoritie.l said the blossoms were very rare, especially the one with the four flowers shown yesterday. They said no definite ‘Teason” could be traced for any of the phenomena. Mrs. C. E. Hoskens, 3906 Eighth street, after reading in yesterday's Star of the four-flowered Tulip Noir, went into her garden and there discovered a similar stalk of the same variety. —Star Staff Photo, streaked out of the brush at the mouth | until exhausted.
