SBotanical %Julips and Species 
Tulip species, coming as they do from southern Europe and 
Asia, should be planted in dry, sun-baked locations. No water 
should reach the bulbs during the summer. 
The following collection of Tulip Species or Botanical Tulips 
includes a great number of beautiful and interesting varieties, 
which show a bewildering variation in size and shape of flowers, 
structure of the leaves, habits, etc., and they only have in com¬ 
mon that they grow wild in some parts of the world, Asia Minor, 
Central Asia, Greece, the Mediterranean, etc. Cultivation has 
not modified them and they may be planted in the rock garden 
between creeping plants or in colonies in small, warm nooks, a 
situation where the larger flowered Garden Tulips would be out 
of place. (Varieties offered by the dozen will be gladly supplied 
in quantities of three) .
