(May-Flowering Tulips) 
The Cottage Tulips come into bloom in early May. They are 
hardy and robust, with long, slender, but very stiff stems. The flow- 
ers are mostly long and oval, many of them with the petals gracefully 
reflexed. The Cottage Tulips as a class are rich in the more delicate 
and artistic shades of pink, yellow, orange, and fawn with salmon, 
old rose and amber. They are best of all Tulips for cutting and 
should be planted outdoors. They will last for many years.
