ENGLISH COTTAGE 
T HE Cottage Tulip Group is unique in that 
it presents the greatest variation in flower 
form of any of the major classifications. There are 
blooms of the conventional Tulip form which are 
impossible to distinguish from Darwins; there are 
egg-shaped and bowl-shaped Tulips, as well as some 
that show a rosebud form, and in addition to these 
there are Lily-flowered with long, pointed, gracefully 
reflexed petals. 
The colors range from white through all the vari¬ 
ous shades of blush, pink, salmon, and rose and the 
most brilliant and startling shades of cerise, carmine 
and crimson as well as yellow. There is not a dull 
variety in the entire group. With a few exceptions, 
such as Advance, they bloom during the latter part 
of May and grow from about V/^ to 3 feet in height. 
They may be used with, or in exactly the same way 
as Darwin Tulips, and with their brilliancy and wide 
diversity in form will provide unusual effects. 
Cottage Tulips should be planted in just the same 
way as suggested for Darwins. 
Advance —32 in. 
To obtain a glimpse of what the Tulip future holds, 
plant a few Advance. Stems better than the best Darwin, 
petals longer than those of the largest Darwin, two weeks 
earlier than the earliest Darwin. Altogether bolder and 
better than anything in either Darwin, Breeder, or Cottage 
class. Red, with a “come-hither” flush of deepest roseate 
orange. $1.10 for 3, $3.85 per doz., $29.00 per 100 
Alaska —28 in. 
Lily form. Remarkably long, twisted buds opening to 
Lily-like flowers of canary-yellow with a deeper-toned

open. 40 cts. for 3, $1.50 per doz., $11.50 per 100 
Argo —26 in. 
A gracefully shaped, pointed bud opening to a broad, 
bowl-shaped flower of canary-yellow, with a wire edge of
