HENDERSON'S AUTUMN BULB CATALOGUE— 1915 



Cottage Tulips arc so-called because many of them were found growing in the old cottage gardens of England, Scotland, Ireland and France where 

 they had been established for 50 years or more. All are very beautiful, presenting a 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 hardy flower borders, where they should be planted in large clumps and masses. To aid in making selections for continuity of bloom, etc, the relative 

 time of flowering is indicated by the letters E, F, G, H and I. Those marked E being the eariiest. Those marked I are the latest to bloom. The normal 

 height is also given in inches. In planting the bulbs should be placed 5 inches apart and the bottom of the bulb should be 6 to 7 inches below the surface 

 in light soils and 5 to 6 inches deep in hea\'y soils. If planted too shallow some may come blind. The varieties marked * are especially good for winter 

 flowering and forcing.
