Cottage or May Flowering Tulips are, perhaps, the most permanent of all Tulips, blooming in early May 
after the Early Singles have passed, hence the name “May Flowering.” The term “Cottage” is of recent origin, 
and so called because so many were planted around the country hordes 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. 
Cottage Tulips are as varied in their range of colorings as the Darwins but different 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. Excellent 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 are aver¬ 
age and may change according to locality and season.
