Che Noble BREEDER TULIPS wail 
These magnificent tulips with their rich shadings and blends do not fall easily into 
color classifications of the other types so we are placing them here in a separate 
group. In height, size of flower, time of blooming, etc., they may be grouped with 
the Darwin Tulips. Many of the Breeder Tulips are rather dull and somber but the 
varieties below are rich and lustrous. 
BRONZE QUEEN. A beautiful light bronze tulip of largest size and very 
tall stem. The inside of the huge cup is golden bronze, the outside is 
the same color with a slight tinge of violet. We have an especially good 
stock of this tulip. 3 for 40c, 12 for $1.40, 100 for $10.50. 
CHERBOURG. A very imposing tulip of Brobdingnagian proportions. 
The base color is deep golden yellow overlaid with terra cotta, the 
yellow being most pronounced at the edges of the petals. Height 32 
inches. 3 for 45c, 12 for $1.60, 100 for $12.00. 
GEORGE GRAPPE. Not of the bronze or blended color type but pure 
soft lavender-blue throughout except for the brilliant steel blue base. 
One of the largest and tallest tulips in our plantings. 3 for 45c, 12 for 
$1.60, 100 for $12.00. 
INDIAN CHIEF. The illustration does not do justice to this handsome 
tulip. The color is unique—Indian brown with a slight tint of purple 
flushed coppery-brown. It has a glistening metallic sheen. The huge flaring cup is 
carried on a strong 38-inch stem. 3 for 40c, 12 for $1.50, 100 for $11.25. 
LOUIS XIV. This variety well deserves its great popularity. Large rich appearing 
flowers of dark blue-violet with margin of golden bronze. 34 inches. 3 for 40c, 
12 for $1.50, 100 for $11.25. 
SONATE. For years we have treasured our stock of this variety and have kept it 
for our own enjoyment but this year we have sufficient stock to offer it in our 
catalog. It is a beautiful variety. The color is bright salmon-orange shading to 
yellow at the edges and flushed carmine inside. Of course the flower and stem are , 
large and strong. 3 for 45c, 12 for $1.60, 100 for $12.00. LOUIS XIV 
MIXED BREEDER TULIPS. The Breeder tulips with their rich colorings blend to- 
gether to make an unusually fine mixture. The varieties above and many others 
are included. Top size bulbs, 12 for $1.40, 100 for $10.50. First size bulbs (11-12 ems), 
12 for $1.25, 100 for $9.35.
