and instead of producing 
one flower on a stem as 
other Tulips do, it carries 
from 4 to 6 blossoms, which 
are in bloom all at the

18 inches tall. The result 
is a unique cut flower and 
also an excellent garden va¬

garden where they thrive and increase if left in 
the ground from year to year. Plant them in 
groups of 6 to 12 bulbs among the rocks in fairly well-drained 
pockets.
