BOTANICAL AND SPECIES TULIPS 
T HESE most interesting Tulips have become very popular with the advent of the rock garden for which they are particularly adapted, 
as their native habitat is, with one or two exceptions, the rocky slopes bordering the Mediterranean Sea, where the bulbs are col¬ 
lected from their wild state. 
These Tulips comprise extremes and variations 
in size, shape and type of growth as well as habit. 
They are most fascinating planted in small clus¬ 
ters or singly in the crevices or among other plants 
in the rock garden. Aside from the bright flowers 
which come long before most perennials, the foliage

REMBRANDT TULIPS 
The origin of the Rembrandts is the same as the Darwins which they resemble in size and form, but instead of the clear even colors 
of the Darwins, they are striped or blotched beautifully in various color combinations and are very interesting.

kinds.

BIZARD AND BI-BLOOM or OLD DUTCH TULIPS 
These originate from the early attempt of crossing the original Breeder tulips and are a very old race. They are the result of tulip 
crossing and breeding in Holland and France, dating back to the early days of the sixteenth century. The Bizards are striped and feath¬ 
ered brown on yellow ground, the Bi-blooms are oddly striped and feathered rose and carmine or violet on white ground. Their blooming 
season corresponds with that of the Darwin, but their height is less, averaging about 20 in. Planting them in clusters in the border away 
from other tulips gives the best effect.
