Habitat: Provence, Bologna. 
"The Red Tulip of Bologna". Typical of this group, it has the red- 
scarlet petals with the yellow and black basal blotch. Tall for a 
Species Tulip, and a somewhat fussy grower. 
T. PRAECOX April 25. lé - 1.45; 25 - 2.55 
Habitat: Northern Italy. 
Well worth using in groups of five or seven in the garden. Increases 
freely. Bears a striking scarlet bloom, typical yellow and black center.

T. EICHLERI April 15. 12 - 1.25; 25 - 2.40 
Habitat: Central Asia. 
Unrivaled in the beauty of its coloring. A vivid glossy scarlet, 
black and yellow center. One of the very best for garden cultiva- 
tion. Blooms just after T. Fosteriana, Red Emperor, and maintains 
the same color scheme in the border. 
age INGENS April PAG ys 6a. 1.80; 3} = 4.85 
Habitat: Central Asia. 12 = 17.35 
A truly handsome flower whose outer segments of buff are relieved by 
glossy scarlet inner petals. Black base. Very rare, 
-T, TUBERGENIANA May 1. eae 1.80; 5 - 4.85 
Habitat; Samarkand. 
Very similar to T. Ingens: brilliant scarlet with black base. 
T. FOSTERIANA, V. Red Empero April 10. 12 - 1.90; 25 - 3.40 
Habitat: Samarkand Mts. i 
The color is a true dazzling scarlet with a black base bordered in 
vyellow. The size is immense, often ten inches across. One of the best. 
Due to over-production of this variety to meet the terrific demand, 
many poor-grade bulbs were shipped last year. I am buying only the 
top-grade stock and have to pay more, hence the higher price. 
T.FOSTERIANA PRINCEPS April 25. 12 - 1.903; 25 - 5.40 
Very similar to Red Emperor; however, it blooms about two weeks later, 
and having a somewhat shorter stem is more desirable for the rock 
garden. 
TS; GREIGI April) 25, ea. £2.00; 3 = 5.75 
Habitat: Turkestan. 
A magnificent garden flower distinguished by its interesting foliage. 
The leaves are mottled brown and purple. Large orange-scarlet flowers 
with black bases. Has been used to hybridize with T. Kaufmanniana to 
form many interesting varieties.
