COTTAGE GARDEN TULIPS 
C OTTAGE TULIPS lend an air of distinction and appeal to every 
garden in which their beauty is allowed to be displayed. They give 
a greater range of form and shape than can be found in the Giant 
Flowered tulips. The long pointed and sometimes reflexing petals appear 
more often than the cup-shaped, which gives them added attraction. 
Do not confuse the Cottage with the short stemmed early tulips whose 
utility in the garden is of doubtful value. Cottage tulips are long-stemmed, 
large flowered, beautiful tulips suitable for cutting or growing in the bor¬ 
der and flower at about the same time or a little later than the Giant 
Flowered Darwins and Breeders. By all means plant some this fall.
