Cottage and Hybrid Tulips 
(All May-flowering) 
Cottage Tulips are so named because they have mostly been found in old Cottage Gardens of 
Great Britain and France, where they have been growing for a great number of years. They are 
distinct in habit, embrace many beautiful colors, and are excellent for borders, where they should 
be freely planted in large clumps or masses. They may also be naturalized in grass, wild Gardens, 
etc. where they present a gorgeous display during the month of May.
