May & Various Late Flowering^ Tulips. 
The various late flowering Tulips, including the Darwin and the many beautiful Tulip species, have come much to the 
front lately, and have been the centre of attraction at some of the May Shows of the Royal Horticultural and other Societies. 
The extreme beauty of the many late flowering Tulips is unquestionable ; whether grown in the regular beds in the flower 
garden or planted in clumps in the herbaceous border or pleasure grounds they are equally attractive, and as the majority of 
the varieties are tall and sturdy in growth, producing their flowers upon long stems, they are most useful for cutting for vases 
when the forced flowers are almost over.
