Cottage Tulips 
These were originally found in England on the farms and 
near the cottages in rural areas, uncultivated, growing wild 
for years, until all at once they drew the attention of the fan- 
clers. 
Their characteristics are very similar to those of the 
species, in that most varieties have pointed petals, sometimes 
recurved and many varieties have smaller flowers on shorter 
stems. Blooming at the same time as the Darwins and Breed- 
ers, they can be used very effectively, grouped in front of these 
taller types. 
Yellow was originally one of the predominant colors, but 
at the present time, due to cross hybridizing with Darwins 
and Breeders, they come in many pleasing shades and look 
more or less like them in form and height.
