For many years the best 
hybridizers of Tulips in Hol¬ 
land have striven to produce 
better and lovelier colors in 
these late May-flowering Tu¬ 
lips. Among their first intro¬ 
ductions were Ambrosia and Dido. Both 
of these represented a very distinct ad¬ 
vance in Tulip breeding. Their colors were 
charming, but they were able also to develop 
size, texture, and fine strong stems in both 
these varieties. In their crossing of Tulipa 
retroflexa they were fortunate in introducing 
Sirene, the first of the Lily-flowering type. 
All these Tulips are fine varieties for any 
garden and are excellent for the exhibi¬ 
tion table.
