The Captivating, Enchanting pea Tul a 
Benita Ibe new 
Cilipa Kaufanniana wveris 
Miniature .. . Extremely Early Flowering— 
About March 30th in the Northwest 
Tulipa Kaufmanniana — as well as its many hybrids 
is one of the most permanent tulips known, growing and 
blooming in full glory year after year without any 
trouble. 
All: of these magnificent hybrids bloom weeks ahead 
of other tulips, and in effect they are much like showy 
waterlilies borne on short strong stems. Because of their 
dwarf habits and extremely showy blossoms they can be 
used in profusion at the front of flower boxes, around 
the terrace, clustered in shrub borders, and scattered in 
bold groups throughout the rock garden. 
These unusual and different tulips are rapidly be- 
coming very popular in America, and we predict that 
within the next few years they will become one of the 
most favorite group. 
This is only a portion of Van Tubergen’s world re- 
known collection of Kaufmanniana hybrids. 
The majority of these hybrids were originated and 
introduced by Van Tubergen.
