Extra Early Species Tulips 
The wild tulip species are mostly natives of Asia Minor and Cen- 
tral Asia, quite different in habit, requirements and uses from all 
other tulips. Their popularity is increasing each year as they have a 
grace and charm that endear them to everyone. Ideal for grouping in 
rock garden and hardy border. All are early blooming—some in late 
March, the majority in April, Marjoletti in early May.
