oh ulip Species ano Hybrid Species 
Particularly valuable because they are permanent. Once planted they need no further care. 
Tulip species, coming as they do from southern Europe and Asia, should be planted in dry, sunny locations. 
Phe following collection of Tulip Species or Botanical Tulips includes a great number of beautiful and interesting 
varieties, which show a bewildering variation of size and shape of flowers, structure of the leaves, habits, etc., and 
they only have in common that they grow wild in some part of the world, Asia Minor, Central Asia, Greece, the 
Mediterranean, etc. Cultivation has not modified them and they may be planted in the rock garden between creeping 
plants or in colonies in small, warm nooks where th ey will come up year after year without any care.

USE WAYSIDE PLANT FOOD in the Autumn 
Although many garden lovers do their fertilizing in the spring, 
the fertilizers are of a quality that obtain quick results but not 
lasting ones. . .WAYSIDE GARDENS Plant Food enables you to 
apply it to your ground in the late autumn, just before the be- 
ginning of snow and cold weather. 
Its high quality is such that it disintegrates very slowly. It re- 
mains highly fertile, penetrating into the soil through the winter 
months, reaching the root level of the plants when spring breaks 
through again. 
Ideal for Rose Beds and Bulb Plantings. 
Also it is excellent for spading into the Rose bed when you are 
preparing the Rose bed for winter. . . Use it generously in your 
bulb plantings and in any hardy flower border. 
In late summer and autumn your soil is in better condition than 
[58] 
in early spring. By working and preparing it prior to the approach 
of winter, you will have more leisure to enjoy its greater beauty— 
the satisfying rewards of your efforts—when Nature reanimates 
your bulbs and Roses next spring. See page 123.
