Rare Tulip Species 
(Botanical Tulips) 
Some of the Tulip Species are very scarce, therefore please order early to ensure 
delivery. A large number of the dainty and small species like Linifolia, Kaufmanniana, 
Eichleri etc., are especially recommended for the Rock Garden, where the little groups 
of flowers are seen to advantage. The Fosteriana group can be used for bedding purposes. 
The Kaufmanniana hybrid varieties are the result of crossing Tulipa Kaufmanniana 
with Tulipa Greigii and all of these varieties have the beautifully spotted foliage of 
Tulipa Greigii.
