Book Description

Excerpt from Garden Glories From Paradise, 1932: Fall Bulb Edition The Cottage are the best of all Tulips for cutting with their long, slender yet stiff stems, and graceful habit. Many of the varieties are unsurpassed for bedding and border plant ing where they make excellent effects, whether planted in small groups or in large masses. Until some of the new yellow and white Darwins are lower in price, many will wish to use the yellow and white Cottage Tulips for effecting contrasts with Darwin Tulips. These Tulips flower at approximately the same time as the Breeder and the Darwin Tulips, during the month of May in all but the far Southern States, where they will bloom in April. Certain varieties, like some of the Dar wins flower earlier than the others, but on the whole the earliest is at its best when the latest-blooming variety is just beginning to Show its color. We present a selection of Cottage and Hybrid Tulips embracing all colors, shades and tints, and all the varied forms, a selection limited to the finest and including each variety only for some distinctive merit that it possesses.
