Tall Giant Breeder Tulips 
Truly called “The Aristocrats of the Tulip Family” 
Breeder Tulips, especially groupings of 
named varieties, create a charming 
and imposing effect when 
planted in borders. 
Breeder Tulips are of the same tall, stately growth as 
the Darwins, require the same culture, bloom at about 
the same time (during the month of May), but come in 
colors not found in that 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. Enor¬ 
mous, 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; they may vary in different localities and 
seasons.
