Cottage Tulips 
Cottage or May Flowering Tulips are, perhaps, the most_per- 
manent 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. 
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. Stemsare long and not so stiff as the Darwins or 
Breeders. Excellent for cutting and unsurpassed for garden decora- 
tion. Planting directions are on every bag containing the bulbs.
