May=Flowerin^ or 



Cottage Garden Tulips 



This beautiful class is now very popular. They are quite distinct from tlie tarly 

 flowering, Darwin and other 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, and 

 long lasting qualities, they are specially 

 adapted for the permanent hardy flower bor- 

 der, where they should be liberally planted in 

 clumps or masses. They may also be natural- 

 ized in grass, wild gardens, etc. For bedding they are 

 superb, while as cut flowers, having long stems with 

 flowers of great substance, they stand in perfect con- 

 dition for a long time. In planting the bulbs should 

 be set a little deeper than early tulips, a covering of 4 

 mches being about right. 



The heights given after each variety are actual measurements 

 taken at our trial grounds, May 10th to May 1.5th.
