Cottage Sulips 
We venture to say that this type is of great antiquity, having probably originated 
in Persia where some species resembling them in shape are found growing wild 
today—Tulipa Clusiana among them. As far back as 1554 the Austrian Ambassador 
to the court of the Calif brought with him some of their seeds and Tulips became 
a fascinating hobby with many wealthy Viennese gardeners—for the seeds, as well 
as bulbs, were expensive. 
The term “‘ Cottage’ Tulips is of quite recent origin. The fact that they are prob- 
ably the longest lived and most lasting of all Tulips caused many of them to be 
planted around the country houses and cottages of England and France. 
All colors imaginable can be found among them, and most of them have long stems, 
some of them gracefully drooping. They form excellent cut-flower material and are 
unsurpassed for garden decoration. 
White 
*CARRARA 3: 
A snow white glistening beauty which is 
greatly enhanced by prominent yellow sta- 
mens. The flowers are large, with broad, 
round petals of pronounced substance, hence 
the flowers last a long time. The best white 
for forcing. Height, 20 inches. $1.35 per 
dozen, $10 per 100. 
VESTA 3: 
Pale sulphur on opening, turning to pure 
white when in full bloom. As already men- 
tioned, this fits in with the Darwins, for 
outside, as there is not a satisfactory white 
Darwin at a medium price. One of the truly 
great pure white May-flowering Tulips. It 
is equally well adapted for bedding and 
cutting. The large, well-shaped flowers are 
carried on strong stems. Height, 28 inches. 
$1.60 per dozen, $12 per 100.
