BREEDER TULIPS 
Breeders are the unbroken or self colored 
forms of the old Florist Tulips. Most of the va- 
rieties are purple, maroon or terra cotta, they 
have flowers of enormous size and flower ap- 
proximately at the same time as the Cottage 
and Darwin Tulips. These aristocrats of the tulip 
family with their immense blooms, borne on 
strong stems, frequently exceeding a height of 
40", have recently become the most popular 
of all the tulips. 
All of these-varieties may be made to bloom 
in pots or pans in early March by means of 
gentle forcing in a moderate temperature and 
daylight. Only the deepest pots should be used 
for forcing this type.
