May Flowering Cottage Garden or Boulevard TULIPS A Gkoup of May-flou'eking Tulips This beaunful class is becoming more popular each season. Within the last two years we have sold many thousands of bulbs, and have received a large number of highly compli- mentary reports as to their great beauty and usefulness. They are quite distinct from the early-flowering sorts offered on the preceding pages, coming into bloom in the vicinity of Phil- adelphia about May 10th, or two to three weeks later than the early-flowering types, and extending the Tulip season over a period of four weeks or more. For the most part they have been collected from the old Cottage Gardens of ^\ England, Scotland and Ireland, where they have been, ill some cases, for over half a century. They are said to be the offspring of Tulipa Gesneriana, and, while pos- sessing infinite variety and brilliancy of color, all have the fine form and stately yet graceful character ol the parent. On account of their extreme hardiness, they are specially adnpted for the permanent hardy flower border, where they should be liberally planted in clumps or masses. They may also be naturalized in grass, wild gardens, etc. For bedding they are superb, while as cut flowers they are much to be preferred to the early type, having long stems with flowers of great substance that stand cut in a perfect condition for a long time. During the past three seasons we have tested over one hundred of the best varieties, and offer the selection of sixteen sorts with every confidence that they will give complete satisfaction. The heights given are actual measurements taken at our trial grounds May lOlh to 15th. These, of course, are liable to vary a
