Beckett's Mammoth Breeder Tulips 



The Breeder Tulips have been favorites in 

 Holland for centuries, but it is only within 

 recent years that they have become known 

 and appreciated in America, and now they 

 bid fair to rival even the Darwin Tulips in 

 popularity. 



Their majestic size and remarkable colors 

 place them distinctly in a class by themselves. 

 Every lover of the more somber shades can- 

 not fail to revel in the rich and artistic blend- 

 ings of purple and old gold, bronze and terra 

 cotta, brown and violet, and buff and maroon 

 found among the Breeders. They are late to 

 bloom but surpass in size and vigor the Dar- 

 wins, although lacking the color brilliancy 

 of the latter. The flowers are, many of them, 

 sweet-scented and all splendid for cutting as 

 they retain for a long time their form and 

 color. Some of the Breeders are excellent for 

 forcing and all are unsurpassed for outdoor 

 bedding.
