SPECIES TULIPS 
Tulip Praestans Tulip Kaufmanniana 
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 or dry 
for other bulbs to grow. 
Shipped from September 15 to November 15. 
CLUSIANA—The Candystick Tulip, daintily striped in peppermint pink and white. 
A small, pointed tulip on slender, graceful 15-inch stems. 3 for o0Gel2 for $1.80 
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. 3 tor 456,12 for $1565 
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. SelOla/ 16m la tOte be. 75 
SYLVESTRIS—Here is a rarity, a tulip with a definitely sweet fragrance. In addi- 
tion, 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. 3 for 45c, 12 for $1.65
