Botanical Tulips and Species 
The following collection of Tulip Species or Botanical Tulips 
includes a great number of beautiful and interesting varieties, 
which show a bewildering variation in size and shape of flowers, 
structure of the leaves, habits, etc., and they only have in com¬ 
mon 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 be¬ 
tween creeping plants or in colonies in small, warm nooks, a 
situation where the larger flowered Garden Tulips would be out 
of place.

Rembrandt Tulips 
Rembrandt Tulips are nothing more or less than Darwin 
Tulips in which white, lavender, red or other colored stripes or 
flakes have appeared. The blending of colors is at all times in 
perfect harmony and most attractive and colorful. They are 
especially fine when used for cut flowers. They bloom at the 
same time as the Darwins and require the same care. We advise 
their use in a mixture only.
