Botanical or Species Tulips and Their Hybrids 
"The Indispensable Miniature Tulips” for Permanent Planting 
The followimg collection of Botanical Tulips includes a great number of beautiful and interesting varieties, 
which show a bewildering variation of size and shape of flowers, structure of leaves, habits, etc. The only thing 
they have in common is the fact that they grow wild in some part of the world—Asia Minor, Central Asia, Greece, 
the Mediterranean. 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. Blooming period April 1 to late May. 

Acuminata (Cornuta; Stenopetala; Smensis). Yellow, 
streaked red; very narrow petals tapering at the tips to a 
thin point. Very unusual and interesting. Height 15 inches. 
6 for $1.35; 12 for $2.50; 25 for $4.75. 
HOW TO PLANT TULIPS 
Tulip bulbs are planted in the fall and early 
winter. The general rule is to set them 4 to 6 inches 
deep, and about 5 to 8 inches apart. However, they 
can be planted as deep as 10 to 12 inches if you care 
to go to that much trouble. The deeper you plant 
them the better they will do, particularly when you 
intend to leave the bulbs in the ground for several 
years. An average good garden soil with some 
commercial fertilizer worked in it before planting, 
will produce excellent blooms. It is not necessary 
to dig up the bulbs every year. They may be left 
in the ground as long as they bloom well. However, 
many gardeners do follow the practice of digging 
the bulbs after they have bloomed and the foliage 
starts to turn yellow, storing them during the sum- 
mer and replanting them in the fall.
