Tall Giant Breeder Tulips 
Magnificent Large Blooms in Beautiful Art Shades 
All Bulbs Top Size 
Breeder Tulips are of the same tall, stately growth as 
Darwin, 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. Heights given are average and for refer¬ 
ence only.
