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 the}^ do exceptionally well out of 

 doors, and if planted in irregular groups 

 with the more brilliant Cottage or Darwin 

 sorts the}^ produce a display in the early 

 summer months that is most effective. 

 Culture: the same as that for Cottage or 

 Mayflowering tulips.
