BREEDER TULIPS 
For sometime the dark, deep colors of the Breeder Tulips were neglected in favor of the brighter tones of the 
Darwin and Cottage Tulips. The last few years have seen keen revival of these beautiful Tulips, however, and 
a subsequent demand that should not be overlooked. Their °dd, artistic colors, make a special appeal to American 
garden lovers. 
The use of Breeder Tulips has steadily increased and we expect an unusual demand for these this year, and 
have prepared our stocks accordingly.

MAYFLOWERING OR COTTAGE TULIPS 
These Tulips ,are generally slightlv later than the Darwins. Many of the varieties are used extensively for 
late bedding. They have the gracefulness not developed in other types, and this feature combined with their 
long stems and wide range of colors makes them much appreciated for both garden and cutflower purpose.
