(May Flowering Tulips) 
The Cottage Tulips come into bloom in early May. They 
are hardy and robust, with long, slender, but very stiff 
stems. The flowers are mostly long and oval, many of them 
with the petals gracefully reflexed. The Cottage Tulips as 
a class are rich in the more delicate and artistic shades of 
pink, yellow, orange, and fawn with salmon, old rose and 
amber. They are best of all Tulips for cutting and should 
be planted outdoors. They will last for many years.
