Giant Breeder Tulip, Olson’s Favorite

‘Rare and Rich Colors 
Famous favorites in Holland for centuries, the original Breeder 
Tulips have always been noted for their soft, rich pastel shades. But 
of recent development is a new group known as Giant Breeders and 
Hybrid Giant Breeders. These have unusually large and substantial 
flowers on strong and stately stems. These include strong and rare 
new color tones never before found in any Tulips, or for that matter, 
in any other garden flower. 
Shown in this book are several of them in natural color pictures. 
Note the unusual blending of blue, lavender, purple, old gold, old 
rose and other rare tints, all combined in one gorgeous bloom. Neither 
words nor pictures can adequately describe the strangely rich and 
fascinating new color tones found in these new Giants and new 
Hybrids. 
Denver Six $1.25, Doz. $2.10, 25 $3.60, 100 $12.75 
A remarkable flower of enormous size and superb substance. The color 
is soft rosy violet of delicate character, takes on quite a rosy hue on 
some soils. Its handsome flower grows on a stiff stem 33 inches tall. 
Dixie Sunshine (New) Six $1.35, Doz. $2.25, 25 $4.10, 100 $14.50 
Outside petals soft yellowish tan with pale lilac shading. A delicate 
broad margin of buff-yellow shows up handsomely outside while the 
inside of the big cup is of palest Havana-yellow turning to buff-yellow 
at edges. Bright yellow base. A most distinct and handsome variety’ 
An outstanding novelty with an absolutely assured popularity. Height 
28 inches. 
Dom Pedro Six $1.25, Doz. $2.10, 25 $3.60, 100 $12.75 
Coffee-brown and maroon, shaded with old gold. It is the outstanding 
Breeder Tulip in this color. Robust in habit and long lasting, the best 
of the bronze varieties. Height 21 inches. 
Don Alfieri (New) Six $1.30, Doz. $2.15, 25 $3.75, 100 $13.00 
Outside petals very soft mauve with bronzy sheen with broad edge of 
tan-copper shading, delicately blended and toned; inside of flower is 
rich Havana-brown. A most distinct and very large, handsome flower of 
unusual coloring. This variety is much admired in our test planting and 
will be a popular one as soon as available in quantity. Height 28 inches. 
Don Alma (New) Six $1.35, Doz. $2.25, 25 $4.00, 100 $13.50 
Unique pointed flower of a dull golden brown with lavender bloom. Much 
lighter towards edges with narrow margin of tan. Inside coffee-brown 
with soft buff shading. An outstanding combination of colors and a 
rare quality. This variety was very much admired by visitors and in our 
opinion is a very choice Tulip which will be planted in great numbers 
in years to come. Height 27 inches. 
Don Eugo (New) Six $1.30, Doz. $2.15, 25 $3.75, 100 $13.00 
A three-cornered pointed flower of a chestnut-brown color, somewhat 
lighter at edges; inside deeper in color. A great improvement over 
Breeder Tulip Dom Pedro, bigger and better flower and improved color. 
It is a rare variety beautifully shaped and shaded. One of the outstand- 
ing New Breeders both because of its form as well as its color. Height 
24 inches. 
Garden Magic (New) Six $1.35, Doz. $2.25, 25 $4.10, 100 $14.50 
This is the nearest to clear yellow ever produced in Breeder Tulips. A 
golden goblet-shaped bloom with outer petals slightly flushed with 
purple; the base is clear yellow, the anthers pitch-back. This beautiful 
variety is a great favorite in our test garden. Height 29 inches. 
Geo. Grappe Six $1.20, Doz. $1.90, 25 $3.40, 100 $12.25 
An enormous flower, uniform lavender-blue with faint bronze under- 
tone. When fully open it shows a distinct and spotless heavenly-blue 
base which adds much to its beauty. This also is a great favorite in our 
trial garden where it stands out on its 38-inch stem. 
Indian Chief Six $1.20, Doz. $1.85, 25 $3.35 100 $12.00 
Perhaps the most artistic of all Breeder Tulips; a flower of enormous 
size carried on a very tall stiff stem. Of glorious coloring and in every 
way desirable for every purpose. The beautiful intriguing color is of 
an Indian brown, flushed coppery brown; a very effective dark, wood- 
brown Tulip with a burnished metallic sheen and elusive rose-colored 
lights. One of the handsomest of the brown Breeders, standing on 2 
stem 38 inches high.
