 Choice Selected Exhibition Varieties of Old English "Cottage Tulips" 



"Old English Cottage Tulips" is the name given to a large class of late May-flowering Tulips, pro- 

 pagated from varieties which were found growing in some of the old cottage gardens of England, 

 Scotland, Ireland and France where in some cases they had been established for 50 years or more. 

 Some through neglect had dwindled in size, but their long life and perennial persistence in blooming 

 attracted the attention of tulip fanciers, who collected all available. These, when given proper culti- 

 vation, soon regained their original size and have proven so beautiful that their renaissance is the 

 cause of much enthusiasm among "tulipists." 



They are all very beautiful, presenting great variety in form and coloring, and having; 

 none of the stiffness of other tulips. For cutting they are greatly prized on account of their 

 long stems and graceful habit. Being extremely hardy they are specially adapted for per- 

 manently hardy flower borders, where they should be freely planted in large clumps and 

 masses. They may also be naturalized in grass, wild gardens, etc., where during May they 

 present a charming picture.
