Giant Breeder Tulips 
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. Enormous, graceful, showy 
blooms, many of them sweet-scented. All are splendid 
for cutting and should be included in every garden dis¬ 
play. They begin to flower when the Single and Double 
Earlies are going off. Heights given for each variety 
are average; they may vary in different localities and 
seasons.
