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, 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 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 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. 



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.

OUTDOOR CULTURE OF LATE TULIPS 



Planted in the Herbaceous Border; in clumps along the edge of 

 Shrubberies; or in formal beds Breeder, Cottage and Darwin Tulips 

 give universal satisfaction. Any fairly good garden soil will do for 

 them and the bulbs should be planted 5 to 6 inches deep and not less 

 than 5 inches apart. 



If sand to the depth of half an inch is laid In the hole first It will 

 greatly aid drainage during wet weather although this is not essential. 

 The bulbs need not be disturbed during the first two years and other 

 shallow rooted planted may be grown over them. Our booklet " How 

 to Grow Bulbs" sent free to all applicants.
