Lily- lowering Culips 
The Tulips offered under this heading have been kept by 
themselves because of their distinct Lily-like flowers. They 
aN really belong with the Cottage Tulips but would be lost or 
otOr : difficult to find if offered in that already quite large group. 
Lily-flowered Tulips bloom the same time as the Cottage Tulips, 
and are best used where a light, airy, and graceful effect is desired. 
The delicately curved petals give a delightful effect. As a flower for 
cutting, it surpasses the regular Tulip because they are so much more 
graceful. Don’t miss planting a few this year. The best varieties in 
existence are offered here.
