COTTAGE TULIPS 



Cottage Tulips are so-called because 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. 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 let ters E, F, G, H and 

 I. Those marked E being the earliest. 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 heavy soils. If planted too 

 shallow some may come blind. The varieties marked * are especially good for winter flowering and forcing.
