Old Dutch Breeder may flowering garden tulips 
The vogue for this glorious type of the large late May flowering Tulips is gaining 
great impetus, through the introduction of many of the exquisite new varieties, de- 
scribed in the list below. 
The Old Dutch Breeder Tulips appeal to all tulip lovers on account of their sturdiness, 
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. 
The colors of these tulips are most fascinating; including solid art colors (such as 
bronze, brown buff, terra cotta) as well as many combinations of colors that are 
unsurpassaDly 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. 
They may also be flowered in pots or pans of soil or fibre in the house in winter if 
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.
