COTTAOE AND NEW 
Included with the charming Cottage Tulips are 
some of the new Hybrid Tulips—the finest exam¬ 
ples of the hybridizer’s art. While many of the 
older varieties were exceptionally graceful with 
their pointed petals and slender stems, among 
these new hybrids are some of the largest and 
most dazzling tulips in existence. The Cottage 
Tulips bloom with the Darwin and Breeders and 
are called on to supply most of the fine yellow 
varieties for planting with the lat.ter sorts. For 
cutting they are the most graceful of tulips and 
some of the shorter kinds with their brilliant col¬ 
orings are unsurpassed for bedding. 
The numbers 1, 2, 3 and 4 indicate relative time

est. The other numbers in parentheses denote
