Old Dutch Breeder 



Late or May Flowering 



Garden Tulips 



The vogue for this glorious type of the large May flower- 

 ing Tulips is gaining great impetus, through the introduc- 

 tion of many of the exquisite new varieties, described in the 

 list below. 



The Old Dutch Breeder Tulips appeal to all tulip lovers 

 on account of their studiness, large size, and beautiful "art 

 colors." In size they even outrival the popular Darwins. 

 Under favorable conditions many sorts will grow over two 

 and one half feet high and bear enormous flowers of ideal 

 form and great substance. Due to the firm substance of 

 which the flowers are composed, they will remain in perfect 

 condition over a long period of time, either on the plants in 

 the gardem or when cut for decorative purposes. 



The colors of these tulips are most fascinating; including 

 solid art colors (such as bronze, brown, buff, terra eotta) as 

 well as many combinations of colors that are unsurpassably 

 beautiful. 



When planting the bulbs in the garden, they should be 

 spaced about 5 inches apart and covered from 4 to 6 inches 

 depending upon the nature of the soil. 



Old Dutch Breeder Tulips may also be successfully flow- 

 ered in pots or pans of soil or fibre in the house in winter if 

 not brought in from the cold frame or out-door plunge 

 before the middle of January and then grown on cool and 

 slowly in a temperature of about 60 . The early flowering 

 ones — those marked F and G — will then flower in February 

 and March — the later ones requiring a little more time. 

 Too much heat is apt to cause them to grow spindling and 

 inferior.
