 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 colpring, 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 

 ^y the letters E,1F, 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>hould be 6 to 7 inches below the surface in light soils>nd_5_to 6 inches deep in 

 heavy soils.^^If planted too^hallow.some may come blind. The varieties.marked *^are'especially2good for 

 winter flowering and forcing.
