Kaufmanniana Species & Hybrids 
(Waterlily Tulips) 
This is one of the most remarkable group of Hybrids of recent introduction from the beautiful Tulipa 
Kaufmanniana. They flower far ahead of other Tulips on short stems, they establish themselves easily, 
coming up freely year after year without any care. Most of them have mottled, striped, or spotted foliage 
like Greigii, which is a beautiful and interesting characteristic on its own. We very strongly recommend 
them for the rock-garden, border and other places where they can be left undisturbed. 
Elite Mixture (Peacock Tulips). We offer a very fine Mixture raised from Greigii « Kaufmanniana 
which will be found far superior to what is usually sold as Kaufmanniana Hybrid Rainbow Mixture. 
Including many surprise-seedlings of exciting and unusual colour-combinations with lovely and 
interesting mottled foliage. $ 3.00 per doz.; $ 21.00 per 100
