Tulip Kaufmanniana 
SPECIES TULIPS 
Species tulips are among the most satisfactory miniatures to grow, 
and of the numerous species, we consider the following four to be of 
superior merit. Each one is distinct and different. 
Culture is simpler than for the large tulips, for they may be left in 
the ground from year to year. Since they enjoy good drainage and a 
chance to dry out during the summer, they will thrive for you in sunny 
spots in the rockery, too hot and dry for other bulbs to grow. 
Shipped from September 1 to November 15. 
CLUSIANA—The Candystick Tulip, daintily striped in peppermint pink 
and white. A small, pointed tulip on slender, graceful 15-inch stems.

KAUFMANNIANA—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.

PRAESTANS Tubergans var.—Quite dwarf, the short stems are crowned 
with several fat, round little tulips in fiery scarlet. A bed of these will 
add brilliant spring color to the rock garden. 3 for 45c, 12 for $1.65 
SYLVESTRIS—Here isa rarity, a tulip with a definitely sweet fragrance. 
In addition, we think it one of the loveliest tulips we've seen yet. Blooms 
are a rich golden yellow, opening almost flat in the sun to golden stars. 
Outside of petals is delicate greenish yellow. Stems are about 16 inches, 
slender and swaying gracefully with their large flowers.
