Breeder Tulips 



For the Open Ground 



The flowers of the Breeder 

 tulips 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 popu- 

 lar for garden decoration. While 

 not so well adapted for forcing 

 as some of the other late flower- 

 ing 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 May- 

 flowering tulips.
