Nelis Giant Meay- 
The modern Giant May-Flowering Tulip is the result of 
three separate experiments of Tulip breeding, formerly classi- 
fied as Darwin, Cottage and Breeder Tulips. Through the 
inter-breeding of the three beforementioned 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 con- 
tain the blood of all the three preceding crosses in proportion 
unknown to even the plant breeders themselves, it seems use- 
less and scientifically meaningless. We, therefore, will list 
them as Giant May-Flowering Tulips. The term May-Flower- 
ing is based on our Michigan climate, and in southern loca- 
tions the blooming period will, of course, be earlier. In re- 
vising our lists for 1951 we have eliminated many varieties 
which we have considered to be surpassed by later intro- 
ductions.
