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 gardens, 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. The heights 

 given are actual measurements, taken at our trial grounds May 10th to loth. In planting, the bulbs should be set a little deeper 

 than early Tulips, a covering of 4 inches being about right.
