May-Flowering or Old English 
Cottage Tulips 
All Bulbs Top Size 
Generally speaking, the most permanent of all Tulips, blooming in early May 
after the Early Singles have passed, hence the name of “May Flowering.” 
The term “Cottage” is of recent origin and so called because so many were 
planted around the country homes and cottages of England. As a class they 
are rich in the more delicate and artistic shades of yellow, orange, fawn, 
salmon, old rose—colors missing to a great extent in other classes of late 
Tulips. They are as varied in their range of colorings as the Darwins but 
more varied in form, being mostly long and oval-shaped, many with grace¬ 
fully reflexed petals. Stems are long and not so stiff as the Darwins or 
Breeders. Excellent for cutting and unsurpassed for garden decoration and 
especially for grouping among shrubbery. Except for a few varieties, they 
are not recommended for growing indoors but should be handled the same as 
Darwins. Average heights given are for reference only.
