TULIPA 
The following collection of Tulip Species or Botanical Tulips in- 
eludes a great number of beautiful and interesting varieties which show 
a bewildering variation in size, shape of flowers, structure of the leaves, 
habitus, etc., and have only in common the fact that they grow wild in 
a bewildering variation in size, shape of flowers, structure of the leaves, 
some parts of the world: Asia-Minor, Central Asia, Greece and the Med- 
iditeranean region. Culture has not modified them. A number of the 
choicest may be planted in the rock garden between creeping plants, or in 
colonies in small, warm nooks where the larger flowered Garden Tulips 
would be out of place. As the leaves appear early, we advise planting 
as late as possible with the exception of Tulipa Sprengeri which must 
be planted immediately upon arrival. 
To all gardeners interested in this beautiful genus, we recommend 
' Sir Daniel Hall’s “The Genus Tulipa”’, obtainable from the Secretary of 
The Royal Horticultural Society, London. In this work, much practical 
information is given on the species offered below and frequent reference 
is made to species and varieties introduced by us.
