Dy ond) Tulips 
(May-Flowering) 
These ‘‘broken’’ Darwin Tulips are a gay and interesting strain of 
May-flowering Tulips with flecked, feathered and striped flowers 
much superior to the old Bybloemen Tulips. However, the flowers 
are not as large as those of the Darwins and the plants do not grow 
as tall. We do not advise planting them with the self-colored varie- 
ties but if used as isolated groups in the shrubbery they will be 
astonishingly beautiful.

AMERICAN FLAG, 24. (Stars and Stripes) Clear, deep red with

Tulip a o/s lip Species 
Nowhere else is such a varied collection of Tulipas offered. Being 
one of the Van Tubergen specialties, the world’s newest and finest 
in this species are listed here. We strongly recommend them to all 
Tulip enthusiasts for they will provide new and delightful experiences 
in Tulip growing. 
Tulip Species or Botanical Tulips include a great number of beau- 
tiful and interesting varieties which show a bewildering variation 
in size, shape of flowers, structure of leaves, habitus, etc., and have 
only in common the fact they grow wild in some parts of the world: 
Asia Minor, Central Asia, Greece, and the Mediterranean 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. All appreciate perfect drainage. 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. 
Depth to plant 4 to 8 inches. Number following name denotes 
height in inches. 
ACUMINATA (CORNUTA), 22. The Horned Tulip. The long 
petals of this Tulip are curiously twisted giving it quite a fantastic 
appearance. The color is red and yellow and it makes an interesting 
cut flower. 3 $.75, 12 $2.55, 25 $4.75, 100 $17.90. 
AUCHERIANA, 3. A most distinct species from the Near East. 
Small, expanded deep rose pink flowers. Each $.95, 3 $2.55. 
AUSTRALIS, 6. Small yellow flower, flushed red on the outside of 
the petals. It somewhat resembles T. sylvestris although the stem is 
shorter and it blossoms more freely. Very sweetly scented. Each $.40,

Each $.50, 3 $1.30, 12 $4.90, 25 $8.90. 
BIFLORA, 6. This is probably the smallest Tulip known. The flowers 
are like tiny white stars with yellow centers and are borne 2 or 3 
to a stem. Deserves a choice warm spot in the rock garden where it 
will blossom very early. 6 $.75, 12.$1.20, 25 $2.30, 100 $8.25.

with a rosy flush on the outer petals. Greatly resembles T. stellata.

bulb planted in a pocket of sand. 6 $.65, 12 $1.00, 25 $1.85, 
100 $6.90.

$4.40, 100 $16.50.

FOSTERIANA HOLLAND'S GLORY, 20. Among all the many 
thousands of seedling Tulips raised in Holland in the last centuries, 
this superb variety is extraordinary. A hybrid from T. Fosteriana with 
a Darwin, it has inherited the brilliant red color and the large dis- 
tinctly shaped flower from the wild Tulip while the Darwin con- 
tributes the strong stem. The foliage is broad and spreading. An 
outstanding variety for the garden, flowering before the Darwins.
