Kaufmanniana Hybrid Tulips 
(Waterilily Tulips) 
This is one of the most remarkable group of Hybrids of recent introduction from the 
beautiful Tulipa Kaufmanniana. They flower far ahead of other Tulips on short stems, 
they establish themselves easily, coming up freely year after year without any care. 
Most of them have mottled, striped, or spotted foliage like Greigii, which is a beautiful 
and interesting characteristic on its own. We very strongly recommend them for the 
rock-garden, border and other places where they can be left undisturbed. 
Kaufmanniana (Waterlily Tulip), (Central Asia) (6), a charming species, producing

gardens, they may be left undisturbed and will flower for many years.
