Fosteriana Species & Hybrids 
Is it not somewhat remarkable to think that after more than three centuries of careful cultiva- 
tion and hybridising Western Europe has not been able to produce anything to match in size and 
brilliancy of color with these Bokhara Tulips growing wild on the mountain slopes of the Asiatic 
desert. We may, however, predict that by the influence of Tulipa Fosteriana in course of time an 
extremely new strain of Tulips will be produced that will stand out in size and color such as Tulipa 
Fosteriana Red Emperor (Mad. Lefeber) etc.
