IV. DESCRIPTIONS OF GARDEN TULIPS.
CLASS IV.—COTTAGE TULIPS.
Return to: Home Page of the Report of the Tulip Nomenclature Committee, 1914-15..
[For General Classification see p. 9. Names in italics are synonyms. The date of flowering given below and the duration of the flower are for the year 1915 and represent the order in which the varieties may be expected to flower rather than the exact date of flowering, which will vary from year to year; it will also vary according to the source and time of planting of the bulbs. The dates are taken, as a rule, from bulbs which had been grown for two years at Wisley and had been planted at the same time. The heights are measured from the same bulbs and are relative only.]
In this Class the varieties are arranged as they might be in a border so that they form a sequence with the most typically coloured flower of the section about the middle and thence grading ofí towards the sections above and below it.
”(Conf.)” indicates that the varieties appear at the Conference only and not in the trials at Wisley.
Tulips with names in bold below still survive, and will be found under "By Category / Single Late Tulips" on this website. Please help us identify other tulips in this list that also survive in gardens today. .
