Gesneriana 
Lutea. 
Nelis Cottage Tulips 
MAY-FLOWERING 
The Cottage Tulips, like the Darwins, 
flower in May. The difference between 
the Cottage Tulips and the Darwins is 
in the shape of the blossoms, which is 
long and oval, many of them with grace¬ 
fully reflexed petals. The classes which 
are the most outstanding are the deli¬ 
cate and artistic shades of pink, yellow, 
orange, salmon, fawn, amber and old 
rose. They are ideally suited for out¬ 
door planting and cutting.
