Cottage or May Flowering Tulips 
Cottage or May Flowering Tulips are, perhaps, the most permanent of all Tulips, blooming in early May after 
the Early Singles have passed, hence the name, “May Flowering.” The term “Cottage” is of recent origin, and 
so called because so many were planted around the country homes and cottages of England. As a class they 
are rich in the more delicate and artistic shades of yellow, orange, fawn, salmon, old rose—colors missing to a 
, great extent in other late Tulips. 
Cottage Tulips are as varied in their range of colorings as the Darwins but different in form, being mostly long 
and oval-shaped, many with gracefully reflexed petals. Stems are long and not so stiff as the Darwins or Breed- 
ers. Excellent for cutting and unsurpassed for garden decoration and especially for grouping among shrubbery. 
Except for a few varieties, they are not recommended for growing indoors. 
Heights given are average and may change according to locality and season.
