Ol English Cottage Culips 
The Cottage Tulips come into bloom in early May. They are hardy 
and robust, with long, slender, but very stiff stems. The flowers are 
mostly long and oval, many of them with the petals gracefully re- 
flexed. The Cottage Tulips as a class are rich in the more delicate 
and artistic shades of pink, yellow, orange, and fawn with salmon, 
old rose, and amber. They are best of all Tulips for cutting and 
should be planted outdoors. They will last for many years.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT 
As Well as for Your Flowers 
Plants, anything that grows in the soil, are exactly the same in their 
food needs as humans. There are plenty of what might be called the 
shot-in-the-arm kinds of ready mixed fertilizers. But, they are mostly 
only stimulants. 
What your plants need is a balanced organic food. Not just a stimu- 
lant. They need one containing in right amounts, those things that 
make plenty of strong roots, produce good sturdy stalks, thrifty foliage 
and an abundance of good sized blooms. 
That’s exactly the kind of Plant Food we use at Wayside. Much of 
our success in growing such unfailingly fine plants is due to it. 
What it has done, and is doing for our 600 miles of plants, it will do 
for your garden.
