MISCELLANEOUS TULIPS 
Late Tulips arc 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 special attention to the 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.

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

ing very late they extend the spring flowering bulb season well into May. They are all tall growing, averaging about 24 inches in height.
