COTTAGE, DARWIN AND RRKEDER TULIPS AT OUR TRIAL (5ROUNDS. 



LATE FLOWERING TUUPS 



Under this heading are classed the Cottage or May Flowering, the Darwin, the Breeder, the 

 Rembrandt and the Parrot Tulips. 



All are exceptionally desirable for garden decoration and with the possible exception of the Parrots 

 are unsurpassed as a cut flower for vases or baskets. 



Each year has shown a well merited increase in their popularity and we recommend unreservedly 

 the planting of them, especially out of doors. 



All late flowering tulips should be planted 4 to 6 inches deep and about 5 inches apart. Good drain- 

 age being necessary, an inch or so of sand placed beneath the bulbs when planting will be found very 

 desirable to drain off any surplus water. Protect the bulbs with a slight mulch of leaves, removing it as 

 early in spring as growth commences. 



The letters D, E^ F^ G, etc., following the name of a variety refer to its time of blooming when 

 planted outdoors; they follow in close succession the latest of the early flowering sorts. The height is 

 given in inches. 



Cottage or May Flowering Tulips 



An excellent class of single late flowering tulips which are specially adapted for planting among 

 shrubbery or in masses in the open border, where if left undisturbed they will often bloom freely for 

 several years. Their long graceful stems and brilliant colors make them exceptionally desirable for 

 cut flowers; many of them are also delightfully fragrant.
