— The constant interbreeding of Darwin, Cottage 
~ and Breeder Tulips has made the classification of 
each variety so confusing that we are listing them 
all in one category, called May-flowering. Since 
the modern Giant May-flowering Tulips contain 
the blood of all the three preceding crosses 
in unknown proportions, it seems scientifically 
meaningless to use the old classifications. 
The term May-flowering is based on our Mich- 
igan climate, in southern locations the blooming 
time will be earlier. In our 1944 listing we elim- 
inated varieties which we consider to be sur- 
passed by later introductions.
