Extra Early Specie TULIPS 
The Botanical and wild Tulip species are mostly natives of Asia Minor and Central Asia and are 
quite different in habit, requirements and uses from all other tulips. Their popularity is increasing 
each year as they surely have a grace and charm that endear them to everyone. Plant in a sunny 
location and well-drained soil. They deserve a place in every rock garden and hardy border. All are 
early blooming—some in April, others in early May.

Chinese Lantern TULIP 
9336 Good Gracious This tulip is so distinct that instead of 
listing it with the Cottage or May-flowering group we aresoffering 
it separately so it will not be overlooked. Flowers are of good size, 
globular and glow with such an iridescent sheen as to create the 
effect of a delicately colored, lighted Chinese Lantern. The color 
is rather difficult to describe: a glorious combination of pink, sal- 
mon, orange and yellow gives the general effect of brilliant orange; 
inside is a brighter orange with a contrasting yellow base.

Rembrandt TULIPS 
9333 MIXED COLORS The flowers of Rembrandt Tulips 
resemble those of the Darwins, but instead of being of solid colors, 
they are beautifully striped, feathered or flaked in two or more 
colors. They bloom in May, grow 18 to 22 in. high, and are some- 
times referred to as ‘‘Striped Darwins.”’ We offer a splendid mixture 
of many varieties of this artistic and striking class.
