Single Late or May Flowering 
“Cottage Garden” and Species Tulips. 
These grand old Cottage or Garden Tulips, almost forgotten and neglected, are again becoming increasingly popular; by reason of 
hybridising with the old sorts some lovely and brilliant colours have now been obtained, and we feel sure they only need to be better and 
more widely known for their exquisite and lasting beauty to be appreciated. The time of flowering practically excludes them from being 
planted in beds with the earlier blooming Tulips for Spring decoration, but as subjects for the herbaceous border, &c., they are unrivalled, 
while owing to the tall growing habit, are by their long stems eminently adapted for cutting and indoor decoration. The following are 
recommended as a few of the best and most distinct varieties ; —
