ONelis Giant Nay. lowering 
micuioam The modern Giant May-Flowering Tulip is the result of three separate experiments of Tulip breeding, 
U formerly classified as Darwin, Cottage and Breeder Tulips. Through the interbreeding of the three before- 
mentioned classes, the terms Darwin, Cottage (or Hybrid) and Breeder Tulips still listed in some 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 
unknown 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 1942 we have 
eliminated many varieties, which we have considered to be surpassed by later introductions.
