COTTAGE TULIPS 
A glorious group of Tulips particularly adapted for naturalizing. Many of these varieties 
have been found growing about the country houses and cottages in England and France 
for many years, hence the name. They are charming in groups in the borders and among 
shrubs and are absolutely hardy. They have stately flowers with long, narrow cups, 
some elongated, with pointed petals beautifully reflexed at the edges; many of them 
sweet scented. Plant same way as all late Tulips—5 inches deep to the bottom of the 
bulb and 6 inches apart.

Correct Planting Time 
While all spring-flowering bulbs can 
be planted any time before the ground 
freezes, the most excellent results are 
obtained if planting is done between 
October 10 and 25. This will allow the 
bulbs sufficient time to establish a good 
root system before the ground freezes. 
Where moles or field-mice are trouble¬ 
some, we recommend the use of Naph¬ 
thaline Flakes. Do not put this under 
the bulb, but sprinkle about a half¬ 
teaspoonful of the flakes over each bulb 
after it has been set and before it is 
covered. 
Naphthaline Flakes are priced as 
follows: Lb. 25 cts., 5 lbs. 75 cts., 
25 lbs., $3.50, 100 lbs. $12.
