‘Cottage TULIPS 
. 
Cottage or May Flowering Tulips are, perhaps, the most permanent of all tulips, blooming i pee 
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 Yelows 
orange, fawn, salmon, old rose—colors missing to a great extent in other late tulips. 
Cottage Tulips are as varied in their range of colorings as the Darwins but different in form, being ' 
mostly long and oval-shaped; those with gracefully reflexed petals are offered separately as Lily 
Flowered, page 14. Stems are long and not so stiff as the Darwins or Breeders. Excellent for cutting 
and ‘unsurpassed for garden decoration. Planting directions are on every bag containing the bulbs.
