TULIPA FOSTERIANA 
Many Dutch growers have for a number of years exercised great care in 
selecting special seedlings of T. Fosteriana Red Emperor. They are offering 
us the fruits of their labors. These new forms and varieties are in most cases 
dwarfs, and by far more suitable for the rock garden, flower border and 
foundation plantings. They stand the wind better and last longer. We carry 
only the finest quality top sized bulbs. 
T. Fosteriana Cantate — Where one would desire a brilliant tulip, but not 
as tall as Red Emperor, this beautiful novelty is highly desirable for 
the rock garden, being only 12” tall. Vermillion red flowers with 
black centers, accentuated with a yellow outline, and enhanced by 
the beauty of the bright green glossy leaves. Breathtaking in the 
foundation planting, forcefully showing in the flower border.

TULIPA KAUFMANNIANA SPECIES 
Known as the “Water Lily Tulips” they are the earliest of all the species 
to bloom. In the vicinity of Boston, they usually flower in mid-March and 
early April, varying somewhat according to early or late spring. All are 
easily raised, very enduring and prolific bloomers. We highly recommend 
them for the rock garden. They are spectacular when planted in large clumps 
in the flower border and foundation plantings, adding a touch of warm color 
in early Spring. We are offering a very fine selection.
