Single Cottage or May -Flowering Tulips 



The Cottage Tulips come into bloom in early May, after the Early Single varieties have passed. They are hardy and robust, with long, 

 slender, but very stiff stems. The flowers are mostly long and oval, many of them with the petals gracefully reflexed. The Cottage Tulips 

 as a class are rich in the more delicate and artistic shades of yellow, orange, and fawn with salmon, old-rose and amber. They are the best 

 of all Tulips for cutting and, although they develop best when planted outdoors, they may be grown in pots and brought into bloom to suc- 

 ceed the earlier kinds of Tulips.
