Giant Breeder Tulips 
Magnificent Large Blooms in Beautiful Art Shades 
Breeder Tulips are of the same tall, stately growth as Darwins, require the same culture, 
bloom at about the same time, but come in colors not found in that class or any other 
class of Tulips. Their rich and unusual blendings of purple and old gold, bronze and 
terra-cotta, brown and violet, buff and maroon, are most attractive. These so-called 
“art shades” put Breeders in a class by themselves. Enormous, graceful, 
showy blooms, many of them sweet scented. All are splendid for cutting 
and should be included in every garden display. They flower when the 
Single and Double Earlies are over.
