and Species 
Tulip species, coming as they do from southern Europe and Asia, 
should all be planted in dry, sun-baked locations. No water should 
reach the bulbs during the summer. 
The following collection of Tulip Species or Botanical Tulips in- 
eludes 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 common 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 between creeping plants 
or in colonies in small, warm nooks, a situation where the larger flow- 
ered Garden Tulips would be out of place. (Varieties offered by the 
dozen we will gladly supply in quantity of three).
