Breeder Tulips. 
Breeders are the unbroken or selfcolored forms of the old 
Florist Tulips; they have large flowers on robust stems and 
are easily distinguished from the Darwin Tulips by their 
yellow centers and the typical haze on the outside of the 
petals. They flower at the same time as the Darwins and 
Cottage Tulips, during the month of May. 
The rich and artistic blendings of purple and old gold, bronze 
and terra cotta, brown and violet, buff and maroon have 
made these Breeders immensely popular.
