2NGlE Giant May 
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 as Giant May-Flowering Tulips. The term 
May-Flowering is based on our Michigan climate, and in southern loca- 
tions the blooming period will, of course, be earlier. In revising our list 
for 1947 we have eliminated many varieties which we have considered 
to be surpassed by later introductions.
