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 na¬ 
tive habitat is, with one or two exceptions, the rocky 
slopes bordering the Mediterranean Sea, where the 
bulbs are collected 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 clusters 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 of these tulips is pretty, 
odd and interesting. Plant them where they are fully 
exposed to the sun and where the least amount of 
nioisture will reach them during the summer, as this 
is their resting period. 
Our supply comes from the most reliable and largest 
collector in Holland; the bulbs we offer are the best 
obtainable.

GRULLEMANI TULIPS 
TRIUMPH TULIPS 
These magnificent new tulips have been the object of the 
greatest attention wherever shown, both in Europe and in this 
country. They are distinct in form from any other class. The 
large oblong flower opens to enormous size, and the coloration 
is quite unique, the inside base or center has an unusually large 
disc of a color that reminds one of giant poppies. 
Triumphs are another new class of tulips, that are especially 
distinguished for their very robust habit of growth, large flowers 
and also many new and varied colors. While most kinds are of 
medium height, averaging about 20 inches high, their tremen¬ 
dously strong, thick stems make them quite distinct from other 
kinds. 
Grullemanni Tulips are hybrids from the crossing of Darwins 
and species tulip Kaufmanniana. They retain some of the 
characteristics of both, but are greatly different in form. 
Their habit of growth is very robust and under the same con¬ 
dition will outlast any other tulips, either in the garden or when 
grown indoors.

wins, and their blooming season is somewhat earlier than Breeders

pleasing effect.
