May Flowering 
Cottage 
Cottage Tulips are, perhaps, 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 late Tulips. 
or Old English 
T ulips 
Cottage Tulips are as varied in their range of colorings as 
the Darwins but more varied in form, being mostly long and 
oval-shaped, many with gracefully reflexed petals. Stems 
are long and not so stiff as the Darwins or Breeders. Excel¬ 
lent 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. 
Heights given for each variety are average and may vary.
