3 for 30¢3 of all Tulips, blooming in early May after the Giant Triumphs have 
12 for 95¢; passed, hence the name, ‘‘ May Flowering.’’ The term “Cottage”’ is 
100 for $7.00. of recent origin, and so called because so many were planted arene 
the country homes and cottages of England. Asa 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. Planting directions are printed on every bag. 
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 fora 
few varieties, they are not recommended for growing indoors. 
Heights given with each variety are average and may 
change somewhat according to locality and season.
