C OTTAGE TULIPS differ from Darwins chiefly in the shape of the 
flower, which is more graceful and lily-like in the true Cottage 
varieties. Some of the most beautiful Tulips in the world belong to 
this family, and a good many of them strongly resemble the Darwins. 
This section is particularly rich in good yellow Tulips which are rare 
in the other classes, and also contains many of the newest and loveliest 
hybrids.
