Includes bibliographical references (page 91). "Tulips hold a special place in Canada's Capital Region: physically, symbolically and economically. Every spring, the Ottawa-Hull region is washed with colour as the flowers bloom along the Rideau Canal and the parkways, at Dows Lake, on Parliament Hill, in front of office buildings and of course, in private gardens. Tulips remind us of the friendship between the Netherlands and Canada that was planted in war time and that continues to blossom today, over half a century later. And tulips bring tourists into the region in substantial numbers during the annual Canadian Tulip Festival in May, which has been running since 1953. Read on, and explore the tulip and Canada's Capital Region. You'll also find information about the tulip industry today, and tips on growing your own tulips, indoors and out"--Introduction, page 3.
