Cottage Tulips 
Cottage or May Flowering Tulips are, perhaps, the 
most permanent of all tulips, blooming in early May, 
hence the name, ‘‘May Flowering.” The term ‘‘Cottage”’ 
is of recent origin, and so called because so many were 
planted around the country homes and cottages of 
England. As a class, they are rich in the more delicate 
and artistic shades of yellow, orange, fawn, salmon, old 
rose—colors missing to a great extent in other late tulips. 
Cottage Tulips are as varied in their range of colorings 
as the Darwins and are mostly long and oval-shaped; 
those with gracefully reflexed petals are offered sepa- 
rately as Lily Flowered, page 22. Stems are long and not 
so stiff as the Darwins or Breeders. Excellent for cutting 
and unsurpassed for garden use.
