MISCELLANEOUS TULIPS 
Late Tulips are but little known in this country, yet they are extremely beautiful and striking, and come into bloom in May, after all 
other Tulips are over. Many are the original wild varieties, and, if planted where they can remain permanently, will improve year after 
year. Our experience has been that permanent plantations of Tulips should not be watered after flowering. They seem to do much better 
if allowed to take their chances with the weather, and we know of a lot of single early Tulips planted in a bed in a farm field where they have 
never been watered or cultivated in any way, not even the weeds and grass removed, yet they thrive and bloom splendidly year after year. 
We wish to call especial attention to Gesneriana Tulip. Without exception, it is the most effective Tulip that can be planted outdoors. A 
bed of it will always attract the greatest admiration and enthusiasm.

Gesneriana. The tallest, largest flowers and 
showiest of all Tulips for bedding out in

Height, 18 to 24 inches. Flowers of enormous 
size, on long, graceful stems, and the most 
durable of all Tulips, as it holds its beautiful 
color and keeps perfect for a long time, flow¬ 
ering in May. Color, rich crimson-scarlet, 
with glittering blue-black center. This is the 
Tulip that attracted so much attention on the 
grounds of James McKay, Esq., at Shadyside.

The Bizarres, Bybloems, Roses and Violettes are the 
Tulips of the famous Tulip mania of Europe, when 
Tulips sold as high as $1,000 each, and entire com¬ 
munities were involved in the speculation. They are 
very interesting and beautiful.
