CHESTER JAY HUNT 
Cottage Tulips 
the wealthy classes in England the bulbs passed into the hands of 
the cottagers who prized these formerly fashionable flowers and 
cared for them most painstakingly. Here they survived until the 
Tulip came into fashion again, when they were sought out by deal¬ 
ers and growers and brought back to their original vigor and size. 
They are, generally, the most permanent types for garden use 
and include a range of colors not found in other groups. For borders 
or shrubbery they are most useful and their graceful habit of grow¬ 
ing gives a distinctive touch to the garden. Our list selects the 
best of the older kinds and all the new things which are worth 
while. 
Detailed planting instructions will be sent with the shipment of 
the bulbs.
