MICHELL’S DUTCH BREEDER TULIPS s 
A May-flowering type, similar to the Darwins, in their tall, strong growth and flowering at the same time; they produce im¬ 
mense blooms on long, stiff stems and in some instances are larger than the Darwins. Their artistic colors make them great favorites 
among those who desire to contrast their bronze, terra-cotta and buff shadings with the lighter colored sorts of the Darwins. They 
make a fine effect in hardy borders, and when used as a cut flower last a long while in water. 
The asterisk (*) preceding the variety denotes that it is suitable for forcing as well as bedding. The letters F and G following the 
variety indicate their relative time of flowering, the F’s being the earliest to bloom. The figures indicate the normal height in inches. 
If Tulip bulbs are wanted by Parcel Post, add 25c per 100, for postage, to the first and second zones; for other zones, 
please see parcel post table on second cover page. 
Suggestion 
As Breeder tulips contain shades that are not to be found 
in either Darwin or May-flowering or Cottage tulips, a selec¬ 
tion made from this list and planted in combination with 
the types above mentioned will produce a display of color that 
cannot be duplicated. Give your garden that finished touch 
by planting Breeder tulips.
