Ciant 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 display. They begin to flower when the Giant 
Triumph Tulips are going off. Heights given for each variety are average; they may vary in different localities and seasons.
