COTTAGE AND HYBRID COTTAGE TULIPS 
r T"'HE Cottage Tulips, or May Flowering Tulips as they are often termed, comprise a greater variation in form and a larger range of col- 
ors than any other type. They vary greatly in form, some with long slender flowers, others oval and many with pointed petals that
