COTTAGE AND HYBRID COTTAGE TULIPS 
T he cottage tulips, or May Flowering 
Tulips as they are often termed, comprise a greater 
variation in form and a larger range of colors than 
any other type. They vary greatly in form, some with 
long slender flowers, others oval and many with pointed 
petals that reflex gracefully resembling brilliantly col¬ 
ored lilies. They are very hardy and robust, and have 
long, slender but very stiff stems. 
They surpass other types in their richness and 
variation in color. Many artistic combinations of colors 
and delicate hues comprising amber and rose, salmon, 
pink shades, yellow, orange and scarlets may be found 
among them. 
The average flowering season of Cottage Tulips is a 
little later than that of the Darwins and Breeders, 
and because of their hardiness they are best suited of 
all tulips for permanent planting in the garden or 
border. Their lasting qualities are exceptional both in 
the garden or when cut.
