Cottage Tulips 
(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 colours 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. and present 
a gorgeous display during the month of May.
