Mammoth - Flowered Breeder Tulips 



I -, ~~ X Breeder Tulips are so named because they are the "Mother bulbs" 



from which were developed the striped and vari-colored varieties by the 

 Holland hybridizers. The beauty of the solid colorings was, for 

 a time, unrecognized, but since being placed on the market again, 

 a few years ago, the demand for them has 

 increased enormously because in this class 

 you can get the apricot, bronze and old gold 

 colors not to be had in the Giant Darwins. 



You can plant these Tulips with the 

 Darwins for they have the same type of 

 growth, magnificent, firm, large flowers on 

 long strong stems and they bloom at the 

 same time. The lovely bronze tones in the 

 Breeder Tulips cannot be duplicated in any 

 other popular flower and they harmionize 

 beautifully with the more brilliant colors of 

 the Darwins.

Mixed Darwin Tulips 



(SEE NAMED VARIETIES ON INSIDE FRONT COVER PAGE) 

 A vivid, multi-colored display can be made by planting Mixed 

 Darwins in large beds by themselves and do not overlook their 

 value when they are grown along the edge of shrub borders or 

 perhaps two or three rows around the base of your porch. In 

 fact, they are satisfactory wherever used and the larger the 

 planting the greater your pleasure when they bloom.

May- Flowering or Cottage Garden Tulips 



These Tulips are very beautiful and present a great variety in form and color, from vivid reds to clear 

 yellow, dainty pinks to snowy white. The name "Cottage Garden" arose from the popularity of these 

 Tulips in the humbler gardens of England and France after the eighteenth century craze for Tulips had 

 dwindled among the wealthier class. Cottage Garden Tulips have different habits of growth, some flowers 

 coming on stiff", erect stems, others bowing gracefully and the form of the flowers also differs to some extent, 

 from the cup-shaped to the pointed-petal vase shape. Select the colors you prefer with the assurance that 

 you have the choicest kinds in this class to choose from.
