Mammoth- Flowered Breeder ‘Tulips 
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 popu- 
lar flower and they harmonize beautifully with 
the more brilliant colors of the Darwins. See cut.

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.
