LATE, OR MAY-FLOWERING COTTAGE TULIPS 
One Ol The Most Charming Classes Of Tulips. Admired For Their Range Of Lovely 
Color, Freedom From Stiffness, and Their Tall Stems, They Are Persistent 
Bloomers And apparently Never Die or Run Out. Bloom From Two To Three 
Weeks Later Than Most Other Tulips 
Cottage Tulips are especially desirableTor gardens,onaccount of their absolute hardiness. They 
were found growing in the old gardens of England, Scotland,Ireland and France, where in many 
cases they were known to have been planted 50 years before, many of them after all those long years 
still throwing the same great, tall, handsome flowers they did when first planted. Hundreds of the 
finest specimens were selected, and in Holland have been improved until to-day the CottageTulips 
are among the most popular bedders. They are peculiarly free from the usual Tulip stiffness. 
The Cottage Tulips are at their best bedded out in groups or masses, but can also be used ef¬ 
fectively about the garden as separate specimens. As out llowers they are unusually desirable, 
on account of their long stems and the great substance of the flower, enabling them to stand erect 
in their wonderful beauty for an almost incredibly long time. 
They can also be grown in the house in pots or pans, for late winter-blooming, but they must 
not be brought into the house from the cold frame before January and must then be grown on 
slowly where it is cool, not more than 55 to 60. Higher temperature will not give good results.

years and that are peculiar to the Breeder class among Tulips.
