 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 inchesMeep in 

 heavy soils. If planted too shallow some may come blind. The varieties marked *~are especially good for 

 winter flowering and forcing.
