Cottage Tulips 
The Cottage Tulips, as a class, consist of the many splendid kinds 
which passed out of the hands of the wealthier English landowners 
and into the gardens of the cottagers when the former began to lose 
interest in the flower which had been fashionable for many years. It 
is surprising that so many of them survived until the modern search 
for spring flowers brought the Tulip back into favor again. 
They are, to speak generally, the most permanent of all Tulips 
and include a range of colors missing, in large part, in the other 
classes of late Tulips. For planting in borders, or for grouping 
among shrubbery they are unsurpassed, while their graceful forms 
and habit of growth give a distinctive touch to the border where 
they may be planted. 
Detailed planting directions will be included zvith the shipment of the 
bulbs. The figure follozving the name indicates the relative time of 
flowering.
