When you start to grow Breeder Tulips, you are entering the inner circle of many tulip enthusiasts. 

 Among the Breeders you will find some of the most splendid and beautiful of all the tulips. They produce 

 immense blossoms held up by strong stiff stems that sometimes reach thirty-six inches in height. They 

 can usually be recognized by their dull bronze, apricot, and tan shades. Breeders also range into 

 tones of deep lilac and old rose and yellow and orange-scarlet and mahogany, but they always have 

 that touch of tawny coloring which distinguishes them from the other groups and gives the garden 



unusual beauty. Many Breeders have 



fragrance.
