Breeder Tulips 
For the Open Ground 
The Breeders are a most attractive class for the many tulip fanciers who are interested in the revival 
of the taste for ‘‘art colors.’’ The flowers are self colored in dull or soft tones of buff, bronze or purple 
and among them will be found some of the most splendid and beautiful of all tulips; they are usually large, 
of excellent form and borne on tall, sturdy stems. Not only on account of their large size and odd 
but beautiful colors, but also because of their great lasting qualities, this class is becoming very popular 
for garden decoration. While not so well adapted for forcing as some of the other late flowering tulips 
they do exceptionally well out of doors, and if planted in irregular groups with the more brilliant 
Cottage or Darwin sorts they produce a display in the early summer months that is most effective. 
Culture: the same as that for Cottage or Mayflowering tulips.
