COTTAGE OR MAY FLOWERING TULIPS — 
Cottage or May Flowering Tulips are, perhaps, the most 
permanent of all Tulips, blooming in early May after the 
Giant Triumphs have passed, hence the name, *‘May 
Flowering.” The term ‘‘Cottage’’ is of recent origin, and so 
called because so many were planted around the country 
homes and cottages of England. As a 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 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. Excel- 
lent for cutting and unsurpassed for garden decoration.
