Botanical or Species Tulips and Their 
Hybrids 
The following collection of Botanical Tulips includes a great 
number of beautiful and interesting varieties, which show a bewilder- 
ing variation of size and shape of flowers, structure of leaves, habits, 
etc. The only thing they have in common its the fact that they grow 
wild in some part of the world—Asia Minor, Central Asia, Greece, the 
Mediterranean. Cultivation has not modified them and they may be 
planted in the rock garden between creeping plants or in colonies in 
small, warm nooks, a situation where the larger-flowered garden 
Tulips would be out of place. Blooming period April 1 to late May. 
Acuminata. Yellow, streaked red; very narrow petals tapering to a 
thin point at the tip. A peculiar but very attractive flower which 
always draws attention. 15 in. $1.40 for 10; $12.00 per 100. 
Clusiana (The Lady Tulip). Outer petals bright cherry-red; inner 
petals creamy white; violet base. Small flower, but very distinct 
and beautiful. 8 in. $1.20 for 10; $10.00 per 100. 
Eichleri. Crimson-scarlet, shaded orange; glistening black center 
marked with gold; lily type of flower. 8 in. $1.00 for 10; $8.00

Fosteriana, Red Emperor (Mme. Lefeber). See front cover. A 
glorious scarlet-red Tulip of remarkable size and substance; large 
black center with a yellow border. May be forced in mid-February. 
Flowering at the same time as Narcissus, it should be planted with 
or between them. 18 in. $1.50 for 10; $13.00 per 100. 
Kaufmanniana (The Waterlily Tulip). Creamy white, more or less 
tinged rosy red on the outside. The first of all species to bloom. 
Grows wild in Turkestan. 6 in. $1.20 for 10; $10.00 per 100.

KAUFMANNIANA TULIPA 
Hyacinths for outdoor growing should be planted so that the bulb 
tip is covered no more than 3 inches. Planting dates vary with geo- 
graphical locations, but they may be planted safely until December 1 
in most localities. Bulbs for forcing can be planted until November 15. 
Use general procedure (Cultural Bulletin on request) as for all hardy 
bulbs. Hyacinths in glasses should be started in a cool basement until 
heavy root growth develops and then moved to a bright airy room.
