Rare Floral Treasures from Distant Lands 
rasucous WATERLILY TULIPS 
Kaufmanniana Hybrids 
' An exceptionally fine and new race of Tulips which are unsurpassable in beauty. They have 
rich, delightful tones and textures which are unlike any other Tulips imaginable. They commence 
blooming weeks before the Darwin, Cottage, and Breeder Tulips. Extremely permanent, they will 
naturalize easily and increase rapidly as years go by. 
Excellent for plant in groups in the border and 
also for naturalizing in front of evergreens, beneath Spring flowering trees and shrubs, and along the 
garden path. 
We have the most extensive collection in the world of these valuable Water-Lily Tulips.

cuarmine, oainty MINIATURE CROCUS SPECIES 
Spring-Fiowering Crocus Species are dainty, little flowers which commence blooming long before 
the large-flowered Dutch varieties. They usually unfold their exquisite blooms in March and April, but 
some will boldly appear even during February should there be warMthawing spells of weather. Thus we 
can easily lengthen our gardening year by planting several of these early-blooming species. They come 
in a range of colors which is entirely foreign to the common Dutch varieties and aredn exquisite sight 
to behold when in bloom. 
As they increase and self-sow freely, they 
are splendid for naturalizing.
