Extra Early Species Tulips 
The wild tulip species are mostly natives of Asia Minor and Cen- 
tral Asia, quite different in habit, requirements and uses from all 
other tulips. Their popularity is increasing each year as they have a 
grace and charm that endear them to everyone. Ideal for grouping in 
rock garden and hardy border. All are early blooming—some in late 
March, the majority in April, a few in early May. There is a sur- 
prising variation in the size and shape of the blooms, from the very 
largest, tall growing to the smallest, dwarf.

narrow flowers are yellow, streaked with orange-red, tapering at the end to almost
