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.
