SPECIES TULIPS 
Species tulips are among the most satisfactory miniatures to grow, 
and of the numerous species, we consider the following four which we 
are listing this year to be of superior merit. Each one is distinct and 
different. If you haven't grown the small tulips, try some of each, and 
see if you don’t feel that you’ve been missing out on something. 
Culture is the same as for the large tulips, except that they may be 
left in the ground from year to year. Give them good drainage and a 
chance toidry out in the summer. 
Shipped from September 1 to December 1 
CLUSIANA—The Candystick Tulip, daintily striped in peppermint pink 
and white. A small, pointed tulip on slender, graceful 15-inch stems.

KAUMANNIANA—The Waterlily Tulip is well named, for the large 
spreading flowers of cream white with yellow centers open to the sun 
when barely above ground. In cloudy weather, the long cylindrical buds 
stay closed, exposing the warm red blush on the backs of the petals.

will add brilliant spring color to the rock garden. 3 for 40c, 12 for $1.45

grance. In addition, we think it one of the loveliest tulips we’ve yet seen.

stars. Outside of petals is delicate greenish yellow. Stems are about 16 
inches, slender ana swaying gracefully with their large flowers.
