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 or 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. With each passing year 
they increase in magnificence and number. They are moder¬ 
ately priced so as to enable flower lovers to grow them in 
generous quantities.

fined to this class. These Tulips are very showy and worthy 
of general planting in beds and borders. Very late in flowering.

MULTI - FLOWERED TULIPS 
The descriptive name of these Tulips is very apt as every 
stem branches freely on its upper half, usually putting out 
about half a dozen branches, each ending in a normal-sized 
bloom. For some unknown reason these flowers seem to last 
longer than do Tulips which produce only one flower to a 
stem, so that they not only make a longer-than-usual garden 
picture but for cut-flower purposes are unexcelled, one stem 
making a lovely bouquet for a medium-sized vase.
