° mentioned classes the terms Darwin, Cottage (or Hybrid), and Breeder Tulips still listed in so many catalogs 
have become so confusing that even among the best informed there are many clashes of opinion. Since the 
modern Giant May-Flowering Tulips contain the blood of all the three preceding crosses in proportions un- 
known to even the plant breeders themselves, it seems useless to maintain this class distinction any longer, as 
they are both scientifically and practically absolutely meaningless. We, therefore, will list them from now on 
as Giant May-Flowering Tulips. The term May-Flowering is based on our Michigan climate, and in southern 
locations the blooming period will of course be earlier. In revising our list for 1941 we have eliminated many
