ONelis Giant Nay. 
The modern Giant May-Flowering Tulip is the result of three separate 
experiments of Tulip breeding, formerly classified as Darwin, Cottage and 
Breeder Tulips. Through the inter-breeding 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 1944 
we have eliminated many varieties, which we have considered to be sur- 
passed by later introductions. Thence ier 100
