COTTAGE and NEW 
MAY FLOWERING TULIPS 
W HEN it comes to writing about these wonderful tulips it is 
difficult to keep our enthusiasm within bounds. We have 
just experienced the best tulip season we have ever had—the 
flowers were amazing in size and brilliance of coloring—exhibi¬ 
tion flowers in every sense of the word. We feel entirely in¬ 
adequate in the use of words when we attempt to describe such 
colorings and beauty. May we just ask you to try these bulbs? 
We feel sure that you will be enthusiastic, too, just as so many 
of our customers have been. 
Many people do not realize the great range of size and 
color in this division of late tulips. The older sorts like 
Picotee, John Ruskin, Orange King are not very tall but have 
a gracefulness and charm that endears them to even the most 
discerning flower lovers. Another group of varieties like Dido. 
Jeanne Desor, Marjorie Bowen are more comparable with the 
Giant Darwin and Breeder divisions. Here, too, is the main 
group of splendid large tall yellow tulips from palest primrose 
to deep orange yellow. There are a number of the lower grow¬ 
ing sorts that are exceedingly attractive for bedding. 
Unfortunately a good many people have confused the Cot¬ 
tage tulips with Single Early tulips. For the low growing first 
early tulips so much used in bedding and forcing see page 15.
