But they have come to us chiefly from the humble cottage gardens of the British Isles. They are usually recognized by their long and narrow petals and their slender but strong stems. In shape of bloom they varj^. Some are egg-shaped, some vase- shaped, some lily-flowered. They have a wide range of colors, but in the orange- scarlets and the yellows they are especially outstand- ing. Some of the Cottage Tulips are fragrant. The Hybrid Tulips are crosses between the Cottage, Breeder, and Darwin Tulips. Argo F 23 in. Deep soft yellow, as though the petals were covered with a bloom.
