Giant Cottage Tulips 
The Cottage Tulips bloom in early 
May. The flowers are mostly long and 
oval, many of them with the petals 
gracefully reflexed. They are best of 
all Tulips for cutting and should be 
planted outdoors. 
Outdoor Culture— 
Plant during the months of September to 
November, in well prepared soil, 6 inches apart 
and 5 inches deep. After blooming, allow the 
tops to die down; the bulbs can be lifted in 
June and stored in a cool well ventilated room 
until the following Fall when they can be 
planted again. Bulbs can be left in the ground 
two years but the flowers will not be as uni- 
form the second year. 
Indoor Culture— 
Plant 4 to 5 bulbs, 3 inches deep, in a 5-inch 
flower pot. Water well and place in a dark cool 
cellar or an outdoor pit, which is well drained. 
If left outdoors, cover the pots with 3 or 4 
inches of sand or light dirt. Leave them there 
for 8 to 10 weeks, then bring them into a warm 
room, but keep them in the dark (cover with 
a paper bag) until the foliage is several inches 
high. Then place them in a sunny window and 
water freely. They will bloom in 4 to 6 weeks,
