HENDERSON'S LATE OR MAY-FLOWERING COTTAGE TULIPS 



Cottage Tulips are 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 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.
