    15867 Beaver Marsh Road Mount Vernon, WA 98273 Frequently 360-424-8531 or 866-4TULIPS Asked www.Tulips.com / [email protected] Questions WILL BULBS GROW ANYWHERE? Yes, bulbs will grow in many different climates. Warmer climates are more challenging and may require pre-cooling each fall prior to plant- ing. The year we ship your bulbs, we do any necessary pre-cooling here on our farm prior to shipment—your bulbs will be ready to plant when you receive them! DO BULBS NEED TO BE WATERED? Yes, if Mother Nature does not take care of it for you, then water during dry spells. Be sure not to oversoak the planting area. Water just enough so that it absorbs quickly. Water after planting, during growth, and even after topping if the soil is dry. WHAT IS THE BEST TYPE OF SOIL AND FERTILIZER? Soil needs to provide adequate drainage and oxygen for the bulbs. We recommend using a slow release fertilizer specifically designed for flower bulbs - usually a N - P - K formula. DO BULBS NEED TO BE DUG IN THE SUMMER? We recommend digging tulip bulbs each year after the foliage has died down naturally. They are more prone to disease and rot if left in the ground through the summer months. Other bulbs like daffodils can typically be dug on a 3-5 year schedule. If you experience diminished results in the spring, you should dig your bulbs that summer. WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO STORE MY BULBS IF I DIG THEM? After digging, make sure to dry bulbs thoroughly.

    Bulb Dormancy in Vitro—Fritillaria Meleagris: Initiation, Release and Physiological Parameters

It can take several years until a new plant is formed and commercial profitability is achieved. Therefore, micropropagation techniques have been developed to increase the multiplication rate and thus shorten the multiplication and regeneration period. The majority of these techniques rely on the formation of new bulbs and their sprouting. Dormancy is one of the main limiting factors to speed up multiplication in vitro. Bulbous species have a period of bulb dormancy which enables them to survive unfavorable natural conditions. Bulbs grown in vitro also exhibit dormancy, which has to be overcome in order to allow sprouting of bulbs in the next vegetation period. During the period of dormancy, numerous physiological processes occur, many of which have not been elucidated yet. Understanding the process of dormancy will allow us to speed up and improve breeding of geophytes and thereby achieve economic profitability, which is very important for horticulture. This review focuses on recent findings in the area of Citation: Markovi´c,M.; Momˇcilov, bulb dormancy initiation and release in fritillaries, with particular emphasis on the effect of plant M.T.; Uzelac, B.; Jevremovi´c,S.; growth regulators and low-temperature pretreatment on dormancy release in relation to induction of Suboti´c,A.

    Guide to the Flora of the Carolinas, Virginia, and Georgia, Working Draft of 17 March 2004 -- LILIACEAE LILIACEAE de Jussieu 1789 (Lily Family) (also see AGAVACEAE, ALLIACEAE, ALSTROEMERIACEAE, AMARYLLIDACEAE, ASPARAGACEAE, COLCHICACEAE, HEMEROCALLIDACEAE, HOSTACEAE, HYACINTHACEAE, HYPOXIDACEAE, MELANTHIACEAE, NARTHECIACEAE, RUSCACEAE, SMILACACEAE, THEMIDACEAE, TOFIELDIACEAE) As here interpreted narrowly, the Liliaceae constitutes about 11 genera and 550 species, of the Northern Hemisphere. There has been much recent investigation and re-interpretation of evidence regarding the upper-level taxonomy of the Liliales, with strong suggestions that the broad Liliaceae recognized by Cronquist (1981) is artificial and polyphyletic. Cronquist (1993) himself concurs, at least to a degree: "we still await a comprehensive reorganization of the lilies into several families more comparable to other recognized families of angiosperms." Dahlgren & Clifford (1982) and Dahlgren, Clifford, & Yeo (1985) synthesized an early phase in the modern revolution of monocot taxonomy. Since then, additional research, especially molecular (Duvall et al. 1993, Chase et al. 1993, Bogler & Simpson 1995, and many others), has strongly validated the general lines (and many details) of Dahlgren's arrangement. The most recent synthesis (Kubitzki 1998a) is followed as the basis for familial and generic taxonomy of the lilies and their relatives (see summary below). References: Angiosperm Phylogeny Group (1998, 2003); Tamura in Kubitzki (1998a). Our “liliaceous” genera (members of orders placed in the Lilianae) are therefore divided as shown below, largely following Kubitzki (1998a) and some more recent molecular analyses.

    World Tulip Summit 2017 Westin Hotel Ottawa

    WORLD TULIP SUMMIT 2017 WESTIN HOTEL OTTAWA CANADA OCTOBER 5‐7 2017 Report for Springfields Horticultural Society Trustees Adrian Jansen INTRODUCTION The 7th World Tulip Summit was held in Ottawa, Canada in October 2017, hosted by the Ottawa Tulip Festival. In addition to celebrating 15 years since the first WTS in Ottawa in 2002, it was also the 65th anniversary of the Ottawa Tulip festival, and 150 years since the founding of the Dominion of Canada. There has been some confusion as to the year of the first Summit. Although we refer to the first as being in 2002 in Ottawa, there was an ‘unofficial’ summit the previous year in Tonami, Japan. It was there that it was decided to invite a number of countries to participate the following year in Ottawa. This Tonami meeting is now known as ‘The Inspirational Summit’. The second Summit was in Canberra, Australia 2006, 3rd in Spalding 2008, 4th Skagit Valley, USA in 2010, 5th in Istanbul, Turkey in 2013, and the 6th in Suncheon City, South Korea, 2015 Initially, having received the invitation to attend, David, Peter and myself agreed we would not send a delegate as SHS couldn’t justify the cost of airfare, hotel and registration fees. Having explained this to Michel Gauthier, the Chairman of the WTS, he understood our situation, but he was very keen to have us attend. In order to help, the delegate fees could be waived, and the organisers would pay one return airfare, if we covered hotel costs. After consultation with Trustees, we decided I would attend alone.

This year also marks the 75th Anniversary of the very first Gift of Tulips from the Dutch Royal Family to all the citizens of Canada. In the fall of 1945, in gratitude for the Canadian hospitality of the Dutch Royal Family, and to honour Canadian troops for their leadership in liberating their homeland, the Royal Family provided a gift of 100,000 tulip bulbs. The Kingdom of the Netherlands has presented Canada with 20,000 tulip bulbs every year since and for this special 75th Anniversary celebration the original gift has been repeated with another 100,000 Liberation75 Tulip Bulbs. In the hands of the National Capital Commission, this gift has been transformed into over a kilometer of 300,000 fabulous tulip blooms in Commissioner’s Park near Dow’s Lake in Ottawa that form the centerpiece attraction of the Canadian Tulip Festival. We invite you to celebrate this milestone Anniversary with us, and sponsor Ottawa’s longest-running, largest-attended festival.

    TULIP TIME, U. S. A.: STAGING MEMORY, IDENTITY AND ETHNICITY IN DUTCH-AMERICAN COMMUNITY FESTIVALS DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Terence Guy Schoone-Jongen, M. A. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2007 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Thomas Postlewait, Advisor Professor Dorothy Noyes Professor Alan Woods Adviser Theatre Graduate Program ABSTRACT Throughout the United States, thousands of festivals, like St. Patrick’s Day in New York City or the Greek Festival and Oktoberfest in Columbus, annually celebrate the ethnic heritages, values, and identities of the communities that stage them. Combining elements of ethnic pride, nostalgia, sentimentality, cultural memory, religous values, political positions, economic motive, and the spirit of celebration, these festivals are well-organized performances that promote a community’s special identity and heritage. At the same time, these festivals usually reach out to the larger community in an attempt to place the ethnic community within the American fabric. These festivals have a complex history tied to the “melting pot” history of America. Since the twentieth century many communities and ethnic groups have struggled to hold onto or reclaim a past that gradually slips away. Ethnic heritage festivals are one prevalent way to maintain this receding past. And yet such ii festivals can serve radically different aims, socially and politically. In this dissertation I will investigate how these festivals are presented and why they are significant for both participants and spectators. I wish to determine what such festivals do and mean. I will examine five Dutch American festivals, three of which are among the oldest ethnic heritage festivals in the United States.

    Thermonastic TROPISM

    THERMOnastic TROPISM Eleni Katrini | Ruchie Kothari | Mugdha Mokashi Bio_Logic Lab School of Architecture, Carnegie Mellon University ABSTRACT Motivation: To develop dynamic elements which respond to changes in temperature Approach: The thermonastic movements of the Tulip flower were looked at for inspiration to develop conceptual systems based on movement and heat. The tulip flower opens and closes its petals based on the external temperature. The petals open up when the temperature is high and close when the temperature is low. This movement of the petals is facilitated by movement of water through the plant. Experiments were conducted using paper which is a fibrous material exhibiting properties similar to that of a flower petal. Water at different temperatures was studied as a conducting medium. Findings: Based on analysis, different forms of flowers were created. This includes flowers with varying surface areas, flowers made using composite materials, laminated and chiseled flowers, flowers with varying edge exposure etc. The study was focused on exploring the effects of capillary action on fibrous materials. The observations were focused on- - Range of movement of petals - Duration for capillary action - Effect of hot and cold temperature It was seen that the range of movement was the same for most of the prototypes. All the flowers other than the flowers for which the range of movement was restricted opened up to 180o. The time taken for the water to rise depended on the density and the surface area of the paper in contact with the water. Increase in density of the paper in contact with water, increases the time taken for the water to rise up.

If popularity is measured by attendance, the Canadian Tulip Festival ranks first, along with Winterlude, as the most attended Festival in the City of Ottawa2. With an annual regional economic impact of over $140 million per year3, for 66 years, the Tulip Festival has been a celebration of winter’s end. Its floral beauty, its positioning as the first outdoor festival of the warm weather season together with the Festival’s historical roots, would seem to explain the event’s large attendance and strong goodwill among Canadians. Drawing over 600,000 National and International visitors, the Canadian Tulip Festival has served as both a celebration and a remembrance of the Dutch gift of Tulips to Canada’s Capital.

    Interspecific Breeding for Warm-Winter Tolerance in Tulipa gesneriana L. Tyler Schmidt, Plant Science Major, Department oF Horticultural Science 19 December 2015 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Focus on breeding of Tulipa gesneriana has largely concentrated on appearance. Through interspecific breeding with more warm-tolerant species, tolerance of warm winters could be introduced into the species, decreasing dormancy requirements and expanding the range of tulips southward. Additionally, long-lasting foliage can be favored in breeding to allow plants to store more energy for daughter bulbs. Continued virus and fungal resistance breeding will decrease infection. Primary benefits are for gardeners and landscapers who, under the current planting schedule, are planting tulip bulbs annually, wasting money. Producers benefit from this by reducing cooling times, saving energy, greenhouse space, and tulip bulbs lost to diseases in coolers. UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA AQUAPONICS: REPORT TITLE 1 I. INTRODUCTION A. Study species Tulips (Tulip gesneriana L.) are one of the most historically significant and well-known horticultural crops in the world. Since entering Europe via Constantinople in the mid-sixteenth century, the Dutch tulip market became one of the first “economic bubbles” of modern civilization, creating and destroying fortunes in four brief years (Lesnaw and Ghabrial, 2000). Since this time, tulips have remained extremely popular as more improved cultivars are released. However, a problem remains: even though viral resistance and long-lasting cultivars are introduced, few are capable of surviving in a climate with truly mild winters and only select cultivars are able to store enough energy for another year of flowering, even in climates with colder winters. Current planting schemes suggest planting annually, wasting tulip bulbs (Dickey, 1954).
