TULIP KEIZERSKROON 
Striped 
° 10b. This variety has been 
Keizerskroon familiar from childhood. It 
is one of the oldest, as it is, assuredly, one of the 
best of early Dutch varieties. The huge flower is 
bright red, nearly scarlet, edged with yellow; it is self- 
confident, the margin is broad and clearly defined, the 
flower is seen and recognized from afar. It remains a 
distinctive flower, a great bedding tulip, and one quite 
good for forcing. It isa strong, healthy grower, anda 
bed of it will bring into the early spring garden some 
of the color and joy for which we have longed for so 
many months. oz., $2.10; 100, $15.00.

Species Tulips 
For the Rock Garden and Hardy Plant Border 
The general characteristics of the various species, 
all of which are natives of Asia Minor and Central 
Asia, are bright colors and recurved petals. These 
Tulips do not always feel happy in their new sur- 
roundings and after two, or possibly three, seasons 
they will disappear. With care and the provision of 
suitable quarters they will flower quite satisfactorily. 
They feel best contented in rock gardens and porcets:

The pure white perianth and all-red or picoteed 
cup, and delicious perfume, peculiar to itself, makes 
this one of the most popular of all Narcissi. 
Of all the hardy types this is probably the one 
most likely to thrive and multiply in the garden.

they appear to be crowding, then they may be lifted, 
divided and replanted over a much larger area. Avoid 
poorly drained places.
