COTTAGE GARDEN and HYBRID TULIPS 
BOTANICAL TULIPS (Tulipa Species ) 
Here we offer a galaxy of exquisite floral treasures to those fastidious gardeners who desire 
something choice and unusual. They are just the treasures to stimulate the keen enjoyment 
of gardening, so often surfeited with the commoner—but beautiful—bulbs offered and so 
universally grown. 
ft is well nigh impossible to attempt to visualize or portray in words the beauty afforded 
by these gems. Tucked away, in generous quantities in the rock garden or border, they will 
be seen to advantage but are perhaps at their best in colonies on sloping hill or bedecking 
the borders of brook or waterside. 
They are easy to grow, hardy and give abundantly of their vivid blossoms under ordinary 
care. They increase in magnificence and number with each passing year. They are moder¬ 
ately priced so as to enable flower lovers to grow them in generous quantities.

These late flowering Tulips are used extensively for late bedding and certainly contribute 
heavily to the gala Spring display. As a cut flower they are ideal, the wide range and bril¬ 
liancy of their colors being most effective.
