BREEDER TULIPS 
Breeders, formerly listed among the Cottage Tulips, form a distinct class by themselves, being 
“unbroken” forms of the old time “Florist” Tulips. 
Discarded by their originators, the old Dutch gardeners, because they had no stripes or feathers, 
they were more or less neglected and grown only in some obscure corners, until a taste for the so- 
called “fart colors” awakened, and with the revival of the taste for bronze, brown and buff tones, 
the attention was drawn to these Tulips, which have now become the most popular late Tulips. 
And they deserve their popularity. Not only for their peculiar and odd colors, but also for their great 
lasting qualities. In size and height they frequently surpass even the finest Darwins.
