Qnace^iA COTTAGE TULIPS FI^WERING 
The Cottage Tulips, like the Darwins, flower in May. The difference between the Cottage Tulips and the 
Darwins is in the shape of the blossoms. While Darwin Tulips are mostly cup-shaped, the flower of the Cot¬ 
tage Tulip is, in the majority of cases, long and oval, and in the newer varieties of Cottage Tulips there is a 
refined grace and beauty which is way ahead of the common types. Many varieties also have reflexed petals. The 
Cottage type, as a class, is especially rich in the yellow shades, although all imaginable colors are represented, such 
as pink, yellow, orange, salmon, fawn, amber and old rose. They are ideally suited for outdoor planting and 
cutting.
