TULIPAS 

(SPECIES OR BOTANICAL TULIPS) 
The earliest of all tulips! 
These are the original ,,wild tulips’, found in the woods of Turkey 
and Asia Minor and which were improved and meliorated by the 
Dutch growers. Excellently suited for small groups or for planting 
in the rockery. The botanical tulips tlower almost two weeks before 
the early tulips and it may be said that they open the ,,Tulip season".

Fosteriana Mad. Lefeber, the largest and most beautiful tulip, we have 
ever seen, resembling a gigantic poppy. The enormous large ver- 
milion-scarlet flowers on high and strong stems give a brilliant 
effect when planted in groups. Please give this tulip the best place 
of your garden, protecting it against hard winds, and you will 
enjoy its beauty for several weeks. When half opened, the flower 
shows its marvellous butterflyheart, colored deep black, bordered 
by a yellow edge. Height 22 inches . . 6.— 
Fosteriana Princeps, nearly the same flower as Mad. ‘Lefeber, but the 
stems are only 12 inches. Therefore for real rockery-work, this 
variety is often preferred. Moreover it flowers about a fortnight 
later than Mad. Lefeber. We advise you to order both sorts, so that 
you can compare them for yourself... 6.—
