BEAUTIFUL NEW 
Culipa Kaufmanniaua Hybrids 
Extremely Early Flowering—About March 30 in the Northeast 
This is a remarkable group of hybrids from the well-known, popu- 
lar ‘‘Water Lily’’ Tulip species, Kaufmanniana. It is the most exten- 
sive collection in the world and has won many honors each year at 
the famous Wisley Trials, sponsored by the Royal Horticultural So- 
ciety of England. Awards are indicated thus: F. C. C.—First Class 
Certificate; A. M.—Award of Merit; H. C.—Highly Commended. 
We cannot recommend too highly their lively charm and exquisite 
beauty in the early spring garden. They flower readily, and flower 
freely year after year. Leaves of all varieties are either mottled, 
striped or spotted; a most valuable and interesting characteristic. 
The majority of these hybrids were originated and introduced 
by Van Tubergen.
