English Qarden Tulips 
(FLOWER IN MAY) 
lENTURIES of breeding are behind 
Old English Garden Tulips (Cottage 
Tulips). They have every attribute ^ 
of their ancient and aristocratic 
lineage. Their shapes are many; they 
vary from the long, pointed, reflexed 
sort to the round, cup-shaped variety. 
But all have the beauty, the grace, 
the elegance that come from generations 
of careful breeding. And with this careful 
breeding have come sturdy permanence, 
healthy growth and ever-satisfying beauty. 
While some Old English Garden Tulips 
have long stems and large blooms, others do not; 
the slender, daintily shaped blooms have shorter stems. 
So, some should not be planted in masses; they make a 
better show when they have a background - - - in front of 
shrubbery, among perennials. They are charming among rose 
plants, as they bloom before the roses do. 
Old English Garden Tulips give you the opportunity to fill your spring 
with many delightful beauty spots. Read the descriptions carefully; they 
will help you a lot in making your selections. 
Would you like sweet-scented Tulips? Here are some. Do you want the colors 
of your Tulips to harmonise not only with them 
selves, but also with their surroundings? Your 
wish can be gratified, for the color range is wide: 
single colors - - - soft, delicate, beautiful blends 
and flushes - - - vivid, strong, contrasty colors - - - 
from one to six shades in a single flower.
