May flowering 
Tulips. 
During the past few years the 
beautiful Cottage Garden Tulips, 
so long neglected, have come into 
their own again, and are becoming 
increasingly popular year by year. 
The increased attention devoted to 
them has resulted in the introduc- 
tion of a large number of new and 
beautiful colours, including the 
richest as well as the most delicate 
shades, and ranging from creamy 
yellows to the most intense crimsons 
and scarlets. They are not recom- 
mended for ordinary bedding, 
because flowering late, they cannot 
be removed in time to make room 
for the usual summer bedding plants, 
but should be planted in large 
clumps or masses in the borders, 
where their tall and stately beauty 
can be seen to advantage, and as 
their long flexible stems make them 
invaluable as cut flowers, they should 
be largely grown for cutting for all 
decorative purposes.
