Cottage Tulips lend an air of distinction and appeal to every garden in which their beauty 
is allowed to be displayed. They give a greater range of form and shape than can be found 
in the Giant Flowered tulips. The long pointed and sometimes reflexing petals appear more 
often than the cup-shaped, which gives them added attraction. 
Do not confuse the Cottage with the short stemmed early tulips whose utility in the garden 
is of doubtful value. Cottage Tulips are long-stemmed, large flowered, beautiful tulips suitable 
for cutting or growing in the border and flower at about the same time or a little later than the 
Giant Flowered Darwins and Breeders. By all means plant some this fall. 
We recommend for your attention the newer varieties of Cottage Tulips, all of which have 
large, attractive flowers and strong, stiff stems. Their popularity is increasing: Advance, 
Albino, Carrara, Jeanne Desor, Mayflower, Mongolia, Refulgence and Rosabella.
