TULIP SPECIES BOTANICAL TULIPS 
Late April-flowering, except where noted. 
A RACE of small, dainty flowered, dwarf-growing Tulips of west¬ 
ern European and Asiatic origin. Rare and beautiful flowers 
for the rock garden or for naturalizing in nooks and corners among 
the shrubbery or in perennial border. Some varieties do not always 
take kindly to new surroundings and must have proper conditions 
before they will be entirely satisfactory, but a little care and 
thought will readily overcome that obstacle.

petals tapering to a threadlike point. Erect, wiry stem. Very 
unique and interesting. Height, 15 inches. (Color illustration,
