RARE AND BEAUTIFUL SPECIES OF TULIPS. 
Many of the following Tulip Species are rare and little known as yet. They are full of beauty 
and interest, and will be appreciated by all lovers of hardy bulbous plants. Those spe cies marked f are 
perfect gems for choice corners in the rock garden, where their lovely flowers will delight the eyes of all 
who see them. Greigii Is a grand species with immense gorgeous flowers and large bold spotted foliage ; 
it should be grown in full sun, where the bulbs can get a good roasting in Summer. Persica is of great 
value for edgings and for filling small beds. They are all remarkably distinct from one another in habit
