BOTANICAL TULIPS (TULIPAS). 
These tulips are in the majority natives from Minor and Central Asia, whence originally all ancestors 
of our present tulips came. They form an excellent material for the rockgarden, where they fit extremely 
well, when planted in clumps of greater or lesser size. They feel also quite at Home in clumps in the 
Border, while a few varieties like Fosteriana have such enormous flowers that even isolated specimens 
are grand. Some of them have dazzlingly bright colors and altogether they form a very attractive group, 
flowering in May, unless otherwise mentioned. No rock-garden can be called complete, that does not 
contain them. The figure in ( ) indicates the height in inches.
