TULIP SPECIES Jor Lermanence 
These wild species and hybrids are outstandingly beautiful and unusual. They exhibit an immense 
diversity of form, from little jewels such as Linifolia to the great brilliant Praestans. Unlike the 
garden tulips which should be lifted annually, these species may be left in the ground for years. 
CLUSIANA (The Lady Tulip). A charming slender plant with pointed blossoms on 
stems about 12 inches high. The outer petals are cherry red, the inner ones are 
white. 3 for 40c, 12 for $1.50, 100 for $11.25. 
CORNUTA STENOPETALA (Acuminata, Sinensis). A remarkable flower with ex- 
tremely narrow long petals that taper upwards to a sharp point. Entirely different 
from any other species. Yellow, brightly marked with red. 3 for 50c, 12 for $1.75. 
CHRYSANTHA. In the sun these lovely little flowers open out flat, forming discs of 
pure gold. The outer petals are often shaded coppery red. Charming for the rock 
garden. 3 for 35c, 12 for $1.35. 
DASYSTEMON. A captivating little plant about six inches high with canary-yellow 
flowers bordered with white. From three to five little blossoms on a stem; when fully 
opened in the sun they produce a delightful effect. 3 for 50c, 12 for $1.75. 
EICHLERI. Large flowers of brilliant crimson-scarlet with a glistening black center 
marked gold. Attractively pointed petals that open wide in the sun. The foliage is 
silvery green. Very effective in the rock garden or border. A dependable species that 
is easily grown. 3 for 35c, 12 for $1.35. 
KAUFMANNIANA (The Waterlily Tulip). An especially desirable variety because 
it is not only the earliest of all tulips but is also a cheerful attractive flower. The 
petals are creamy-white more or less marked with carmine on the outside. Height 
8 inches. 3 for 40c, 12 for $1.40, 100 for $10.50. 
KAUFMANNIANA BRILLIANT. Brilliant red flowers that open wide in those few 
sunny days of early spring. A group of these in a planting of the regular type would 
be very striking. 3 for 85c, 12 for $3.00. 
KAUFMANNIANA ELLIOT. More highly colored and larger than the type. The 
creamy flowers are richly shaded red on the outside. 3 for 40c, 12 for $1.50. 
LINIFOLIA. Small bowls of brilliant scarlet centered dark violet. Very dwarf plant 
with narrow leaves. 3 for 55c, 12 for $2.00. 
MARJOLETTI. A charming little flower of primrose-yellow, flamed scarlet. A. slender 
growing species, about 14 inches high, that is a very attractive flower for cutting. 
Late. 3 for 40c, 12 for $1.40. 
PRAESTANS. Large flaming vermilion-scarlet flowers—severai of them on a stem. 
Tall and large and altogether very showy and distinct. 3 for 50c, 12 for $1.75. 
RED EMPEROR (Madame Lefebre). Fosteriana Hybrid. This tulip attracts more at- 
tention than any other. The flowers are extremely large and vividly colored—flaming 
scarlet with black base marked with yellow. It flowers before even the Single Early 
Tulips are fully developed. A group of the huge blossoms in the early spring sun is 
a sight of such brilliance as is rarely seen in gardens. 3 for 40c, 12 for $1.50, 100 
for $11.25. 
TURKESTANICA. Each stem car- 
ries four to six small white blos- 
the first to bloom. 3 for 40c, 12 for 
$1.40.
