COTTAGE TULIPS 
(A Few Breeders Included) 
This class of late or May-flowering tulips 
comprises a miscellaneous catch-all group 
of old-fashioned tulips that have been 
grown for generations in the cottage gar- 
dens of England and Europe. They have 
been much improved in recent years, 
through selection and hybridization, and 
are now rivaling the Darwins in popularity. 
They are tall growing and their petals are 
more open than the Darwins. In forcing, 
care must be taken to bring them on slowly. 
Prices are for No. 1 Top size.

what the tulip future holds, plant a 
few of these. Stems better than the

win, Breeder or Cottage class. Red,
