¢ BREEDER TULIPS ¢ 
Giant Breeder Tulips are somewhat similar to the Darwins but there is a great 
difference in the coloring. The Breeders are mostly “art colored”’—bronzy, brown, 
violet, and purple colors, and in the newer varieties orange plays a part. The outer 
petals have a beautiful bloom similar to the shade of ripe plums or grapes. In western 
New York they are usually at the height of their glory from May 18 to 28. Most of 
the flowers are globular and have a round base. The richness of tone as well as sheer 
stately dignity will eventually open all garden gates for the Breeders, and we strongly 
recommend planting them.
