Slender mayflowering or Cottage Tulips 
These Tulips flower during the month of May and often till the beginning of June. They have 
the same stems as the Darwin and Breeder Tulips, but the flowers themselves are much more 
slender and graceful. The name “Cottage” Tulips is due to the fact that of old they were 
preferably planted in the gardens of country houses so that they were still in flower when the 
families arrived for their summer holidays. As we offer so many Tulips in this catalogue of the 
same style we have only selected ten of the best and most elegant varieties in this race. They 
are specially recommended for planting together with violets, wallflowers and forget-me-nots. A 
short description with regard to their cultivation is to be found under Darwin Tulips. They are 
not suitable for indoors. v per 12 per 25 p. 100
