[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 Darwin 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.
