Old English Cottage 
May-Flowering 
T HESE lovely Tulips are descendants of the attractive varieties originated in Holland during 
the Tulip boom of the 17th century. They spread throughout England and France 
where they were treasured in simple cottage gardens. Finally, they were rediscovered by 
the Dutch and taken back to Holland. 
Through careful hybridizing and the selection of suitable soil, the modern varieties have 
been greatly improved. All imaginable colors are now represented in this class. The flowers 
have long stems and very graceful shapes, freer and more informal than the Darwins and 
Breeders. They are unsurpassed for the garden and ideal for cutting, blending nicely into 
mixed bouquets.
