Fosteriana Species & Hybrids 
Is it not somewhat remarkable to think that after more than three centuries of careful cultivation and 
hybridising, Western Europe has not been able to produce anything to match in size and brilliancy of 
colour with these Bokhara Tulips growing wild on the mountain slopes of the Asiatic desert. We may, 
however, predict that by the influence of Tulipa Fosteriana in course of time an extremely large new 
strain of Tulips will be produced that will stand out in size and colour such as Tulipa Fosteriana Red 
Emperor (Mad. Lefeber), Holland’s Glory etc. 
New Fosteriana Mixed Hybrid Tulips, we offer for the first time a very fine Mixture of colours of 
these new Masterpiece Tulips, which come from a crossing between Fosteriana and Kaufmanniana 
Tulips. They produce many different pastel shades and have most wonderful conspicuous coloured 
hearts and are exceptionally choice, exotic, fascinating and beautiful. Limited stock.
