May-Flowering or Cottage Garden Tulips 



This beautiful class is now very popular. Tliey are quite distinct from the early-flowering sorts offered on the preceding pages, 

 coming into bloom in the vicinity of Philadelphia about May lOtli, or two to three weeks later than the early flowering types, and 

 extending the Tulip season over g. fieri od of four weeksor more. 



On accouht of their extreme hardiness, they are specially adapted for the permanent hardy flower border, where they should be 

 liberally planted in clumps or masses. They may also be naturalized in grass, wild gardens, etc. For bedding they are superb, 

 while as cut flowers, having long stems with flowers of great substance, they stand in perfect condition for a long time. The 

 heights given are actual measuirements, taken at our trial grounds May lOlh to 15th. In planting, the bulbs should be set a little 

 deeper than early Tulips, a covering of 4 inches being about right.
