The modern Giant May-Flowering Tulip is the result of three separate experi- 
saa Darwin, Cottage and Breeder Tulips. 
Through the interbreeding of the three before-mentioned classes, the terms Dar- 
win, 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 
We, therefore, will 
list them from now on as Giant May-Flowering Tulips. The term May-Flowerin 
is based on our Michigan climate, and in southern locations the blooming perio 
will, of course, be earlier. In revising our list for 1943, we have eliminated many 
varieties, which we have considered to be surpassed by later introductions.
