These charming Species or Botanical Tulips are the most versatile of all. 
Flowering in April, they enable you to have Tulips in bloom weeks before the 
Tulip season begins. Their odd, curious shapes and contrasting color com- 
binations make them delightful subjects for the garden. Most of them are 
Jow-growing and are ideal for rock gardens, under deciduous trees and shrubs, 
and in borders. Plant them im full sun and where they may be left un- 
disturbed, for these species increase in beauty year after year. Because of 
this, they are especially suitable for combination plantings with other 
permanent bulbs as suggested.
