Botanical or Species Tulips and Their 
Hybrids 
The following collection of Botanical Tulips includes a great 
number of beautiful and interesting varieties, which show a bewilder- 
ing variation of size and shape of flowers, structure of leaves, habits, 
etc. The only thing they have in common is the fact that they grow 
wild in some parts of the world—Asia Minor, Central Asia, Greece, the 
Mediterranean. Cultivation has not modified them and they may be 
planted in the rock garden between creeping plants or in colonies in 
small, warm nooks, a situation where the larger-flowered garden 
Tulips would be out of place. Blooming period April 1 to late May.
