THE BOTANICAL TULIPS 
Here are permanent Tulips—good for from 10 to 12 years 
in a location. Here, also, is something different in Tulips, 
something every garden doesn‘t have. Forms range from 
the exotic to extremely delicate so note descriptions and 
heights carefully. Some of these bulbs are very small but 
plant them all at least 7 inches deep and enrich the bot- 
tom of the hole with bonemeal. Like all Tulips they re- 
quire good drainage, full sun. These Botanical (also 
called Species) Tulips are easy to grow.
