COTTAGE GARDEN TULIPS 
Cottage Tulips lend an air of distinction and appeal to ev¬ 
ery 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. 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, Marjorie Bowen, Mayflower, 
Mongolia, Refulgence, Rosabella, and World's Fair. 
Of the standard varieties the following are much demand¬ 
ed: Dido, Gesneriana Lutea, Grenadier, Mrs. Moon and 
Orange King.
