TULIP AS (The earliest of all tulips) 
These are the original ,,wild tulips’, found in the woods of Turkey 
and Asia Minor and which were improved and meliorated by the 
Dutch growers. Excellently suited for small groups or for planting 
in the rockery. The botanical tulips flower almost two weeks before 
the early tulips and it may be said that they open the ,,Tulip season” 
in a glorious way. During the last few years the demand for this type 
bulb has increased tremendously. To be sure of delivery, order early.
