MICHELL’S MAY-FLOWERING OR COTTAGE TULIPS 3 
Cottage Tulips flower late, most of the varieties can therefore be used in contrast with Darwins and magnificent results obtained. 
Our list contains some of the best sorts of the new late flowering hybrid varieties, which are the result of crossing the Darwins with the 
Cottage. We recommend the varieties listed for planting in hardy flower borders, in clumps or masses. 
The asterisk (*) preceding the variety denotes that it is suitable for forcing as well as bedding. The letters F, G and H follow¬ 
ing the variety indicate their relative time of blooming, the F’s being the earliest to bloom. The figures indicate the normal height in 
inches.
