May-Flowering or 



Cottage Garden Tulips 



This beautiful class is now very popular. They are quite distinct from the early 



flowering sorts offered on the preceding pages, coming into bloom in the vicinity of 



Philadelphia about May 10th, or two or three weeks later than the early -flowering 



types, and extending the Tulip season over 



a period of four weeks or more. 



On account of their extreme hardiness, 



they are specially adapted for the permanent 



hardy flower border, where they should be 



liberally planted in clumps or masses. They 



may also be naturalized in grass, wild gar- 

 dens, etc. For bedding they are superb, while as 



cut flowers, having long stems with flowers of great 



substance, they stand in perfect condition for a long 



time. In planting the bulbs should be set a little 



deeper than early Tulips, a covering of 4 inches be- 

 ing about right.

Qesneriana Spathuiata Major. A superb Tulip of strong 

 yet graceful growth, and bearing very laige flowers of an in- 

 tense brilliant crimson-scarlet. No words or picture can begin

 quantity. 30 cts. per doz.; $1.75 per 100; $15.00 per 1000.
