Cottage or May Flowering Tulips are, perhaps, the most permanent 
of all Tulips, blooming in early May after the Giant Triumphs have 
passed, hence the name, "May Flowering.” The term "Cottage" is 
i j:;, of recent origin, and so called because so many were planted around 
1 % the country homes and cottages of England. As a class, they are 
rich in the more delicate and artistic shades of yellow, orange, 
fawn, salmon, old rose—colors missing to a great extent in other 
late Tulips. 
Cottage Tulips are as varied in their range of colorings 
as the Darwins but different in form, being mostly long and 
oval-shaped, many with gracefully reflexed petals. Stems 
are long and not so stiff as the Darwins or Breeders. Ex¬ 
cellent for cutting and unsurpassed for garden decoration 
and especially for grouping among shrubbery. Except for a 
few varieties, they are not recommended for growing indoors. 
Heights given are average and may change according 
to locality and season.
