Tulipa Kaufmanniana Hybrids 
(Note Striped Foliage) 
Culipa Kaufmanniana Hybrids 
Extremely Early Flowering—About March 30 
in the Northeast 
This is a remarkable group of hybrids from the well-known, popu- 
lar ‘Water Lily’ Tulip species, Kaufmanniana. It is the most extensive 
collection in the world and has won many honors each year at the 
famous Wisley Trials, sponsored by the Royal Horticultural Society 
of England. Awards are indicated thus: F. C. C.—First Class Cer- 
tificate; A. M.—Award of Merit; H. C.—Highly Commended. 
We cannot recommend too highly their lively charm and exquisite 
beauty in the early spring garden. They flower about two weeks in 
advance of other Tulips, establish themselves readily, and flower 
freely year after year. Leaves of all varieties are either mottled, striped 
or spotted; a most valuable and interesting characteristic. 
The majority of these hybrids were originated and introduced by 
Van Tubergen.
