These wild Tulips come in lovely odd shapes, many with re¬ 
flexed petals and curiously twisted and reflexed foliage. They 
belong in the rock garden where they thrive and increase if 
left in the ground from year to year. Plant them in groups of six 
to twelve bulbs among the rocks in fairly well-drained pockets. 
We have eliminated all varieties of inferior and poor blooming 
qualities, and only those varieties that have given satisfaction 
under American conditions have been listed. Doz. 100
