Cottage and 



The origin of Cottage Tulips has 

 been lost — they are so old. But they 

 have come to us chiefly from the 

 humble cottage gardens of the 

 British Isles. They are usually rec- 

 ognized by their long and narrow 

 petals and their slender but strong 

 stems. In shape of bloom 

 they vary. Some are 

 egg-shaped, some vase- 

 / shaped, some lily-flowered. 

 They have a wide range of 

 colors, but in the orange- 

 scarlets and the yellows 

 they are especially outstand- 

 ing. Some of the Cottage 

 '/' Tulips are fragrant. The 



1 Hybrid Tulips are crosses 



\ between the Cottage, 



I \ Breeder, and Darwin Tulips.
