Sirene Tulip 



LILY-FLOWERED TULIPS

a pink Darwin. The flowers are large, with gracefully reflexed petals, and are borne

bloom with the Darwins, Breeders, and Cottage Garden Tulips, and may be cultivated in 



the same manner.

 postage at zone rate ; weight per 100 bulbs, 7 lbs.

The Rembrandts are really Darwin Tulips that have broken from clear colors into 

 a variety of striped and flaked forms. The flowers are large, typically Darwin-shaped, 

 and bloom late in May with the Darwins and Breeders. Interesting effects may
