Breeder Tulips include the self-colored, or "unbroken” forms 
of the old race which were in existence during the famous Tulip 
craze in Holland. They were kept in the hope that these uni¬ 
colored forms would break into the striped types which were the 
favorites of the fanciers during the seventeenth century. Of 
course, none of the present-day varieties are identical with the old, 
yet the historical basis for the class remains and now includes 
some English varieties and all the newer ones bred strictly from 
the older kinds.
