W '^HE English Garden Tulips bloom at the same time as the Giant Flowering Tulips 
F and the flowers average as large in size. The flower shapes, however, are differ' 
' ent, being long and pointed, whereas the characteristic flower of the Giant Flowering 
Tulips is cup'shaped. 
The long, pointed flowers of the English Tulips are indescribably graceful and 
lovely, and have that elusive elegance which results only from generations of careful 
breeding. They are the true patricians of the Tulip family, exhibiting the dignity, 
restraint, graciousness and pride of carriage which comes only as a result of centuries 
of leadership. In the opinion of sophisticated planters, they dominate the Tulip family. 
The English Garden Tulips may be divided into two groups—the newer and more 
sophisticated LilyTlowering Tulips and the older, long, slender, pointed forms. The 
blooms of the first group flare out towards the end of the petal after the manner of a 
Lily flower. For the most part the second group preserves the narrow flower form 
thoughout the life of the bloom, though there are, of course, some intermediate 
forms. Both forms are exceedingly graceful and lovely. A

MARCELLINA. The improved Sirene. 
It would seem impossible to improve 
the delicate and lovely Lily-flowered

breeders have done just that. The pink of 
Marcellina is even more delicate, the lighter 
edge even more refined, the flower larger 
and sturdier, and Marcellina is Lily-flowered.

SIRENE. The fact that Marcellina is finer should 
not make you conclude that the lovely Sirene is 
worthless. On the contrary, with its beautiful
