Michell's May-flowering or Cottage Tulips 
Color illustration on insert 
As Cottage Tulips ‘flower late, most of the varieties can be used in contrast with Darwins and magnificent results obtained. Our list con¬ 
tains some of the best sorts of the new late-flowering hybrid varieties, which are the result of crossing the Darwins with the Cottage. We recom¬ 
mend the varieties listed for planting in hardy flower borders, in clumps or masses. 
The asterisk (*) preceding the name of the variety denotes that it is suitable for forcing as well as bedding. The letters F, G, and H follow¬ 
ing the name indicate their relative time of blooming, the F’s being the earliest to bloom. Figures indicate the normal height in inches.
