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, 

 Ihey 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 

 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. 



The heights given after each variety are actual measurements 



taken at our trial grounds, May 10th to 15th. 



Bouton d'Or. Rich buttery-yellow cup-shaped flowers (21 

 inches). 35 cts. per doz.; $225 per 100; $20.00 per 1000.

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

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

 to do this Tulip justice. It should be planted in generous 

 quantity (28 inches). 35 cts. per doz.; $2.25 per 100; $20.00 

 per 1000.
