Tulipa Kaufmanniana 
Tulipa Acuminata 
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. 
It 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.

Marshall’s SINGLE EARLY TULIPS 
(APRIL-FLOWERING) 
Tulips for bedding are the most popular and effective of all hardy, bulbous plants. In our 
descriptions we give the color and average height to which they grow. For pot culture and 
forcing for winter cut flowers they are invaluable. 
For outdoor planting, 4 inches to the bottom of the bulb is deep enough, and a distance of 
5 to 6 inches between the bulbs is sufficient. They may be planted in October and November, 
before the ground freezes. For pot culture, a compost of 2 parts loam to 1 part light manure, 
with sand intermixed, is suitable. From 3 to 5 bulbs, according to size, in a 5'inch pot are very 
effective. The pot should be buried until the bulbs are well rooted. 
A, B, and C indicate season for flowering. A and B may be planted to flower about the 
same time in the open ground; C flowers later. The figures indicate average height in inches. 
Not less than 6 bulbs sold at dozen rate, 25 at 100 rate.
