Old Dutch Breeder 



Late or May Flowering 



Garden Tulips 



The vogue for this glorious tjpe of the large May flowering Tulips 

 is gaining great impetus, through the introduction 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 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 une half feet high and bear enormous 

 flowers of ideal form and great .sulistamc. Duo to the firm substance 

 of which the flowers are conipnsi ,1, tiny will remain in perfect condi- 

 tion over a long period of time, ( ithcr cu the plants in the garden, or 

 when cut for decorative purposes. 



The colors of these tulips arc most fascinating; including sohd art 

 colors (such as bronze, brown, buff, terra cotta) 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 flowered 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 Januarj- and then 

 grown on cool and slowly in a temperature of about 60°. The early 

 flowering ones — those marked F and G — will then fl6wer 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.
