Hreer^s Autumn Catalogue, 1903. 



iVlay=fIowering or Cotta^e=Qarden Tulips. 



The varieties offered under this head are quite distinct from 

 the early-flowering sorts offered on the preceding page, coming 

 into bloom in this latitude from the middle to the end of May, 

 and prolonging the show of Tulips fully two weeks. They 

 are of free and graceful habit, growing from 18 to 24 inches 

 high, and bearing their large flowers of elegant outline on 

 long, strong stems, and of such brilliant and odd colorings as 

 to mai^e them indispensable in any garden. As cut flowers 

 they are far superior to the early sorts, standing for a week or 

 more in good condition. They can be used with a grand effect 

 in beds, while every permanent border and old-fashioned 

 garden should have a liberal quantity interspersed through it, 

 being perfectly hardy and improving each season.
