Specie 5 
The various species of botanical Tulips are natives of Asia Minor 
and Central Asia, a few coming to us from Savoy; indeed, the 
ancestors of all our garden Tulips have had their home in parts of 
Turkey and Asia Minor. These species show an almost endless 
variety of color, shape, height and season of bloom, though the 
general characteristics are bright colors and pointed or recurved 
petals. Only a few of the sorts retain a robust constitution when 
transferred from their habitat, yet for rock-gardens or spring bor¬ 
ders many kinds are fairly well adapted, and will be contented 
for two or possibly three seasons, if care is taken to provide suit¬ 
able quarters for them. 
AUSTRALIS; syn., CELSIANA. An April-flowering species with 
yellow flowers tinged ruddy bronze on outside of petals. 16 in. 
10 bulbs, $1; 100 bulbs, $8. 
CHRYSANTHA. 3. Soft primrose with dull lilac at center of 
petals; inside primrose yellow. A tiny, low-growing Tulip, es¬ 
pecially useful for the rock-garden. 5 in. 
10 bulbs, 75 cts.; 100 bulbs, $6.50. 
CLUSIANA. Outer petals bright cherry-red, inner petals creamy 
white, with violet base; small flower. It should be planted in 
light soil 6 to 9 inches deep in the rock-garden in a sheltered 
place. Later April. 8 in. 10 bulbs, 70 cts; 100 bulbs, $6.
