iy) are the majestic tulips that rival the glowing 
rich colors of Indian Summer — in unusual shades and 
combinations of shades that are never found in any other 
types. 
Rare, rich shades and tints in a glorious pattern of 
autumnal purple and gold, burnished bronze, soft copper, 
lustrous violet, scarlet flamed with gold and orange, and 
varying tints of delicate pastel hues that are too subtly 
blended to describe. Many unusual hues are created by 
an overlay of “bloom” similar to that on grapes. 
An exotic tapestry of rare and beautiful, stimulating 
new colors that will set your garden apart from all others. 
Giant Breeder Tulips are famed the world over for 
their strong, heavy stems and majestic bearing; their 
unusual vigor and fascinating colors. The individual 
blossoms are huge and bold compared with most common 
tulips, but perfect in form and proportion. 
Because of their heavy texture and extreme vigor 
they remain in bloom for an amazingly long period of 
time, and withstand adverse weather conditions very well. 
Giant Breeder Tulips are May- -flowering, starting in 
the second week of May and continuing to the very end 
of the Tulip season. 
Extra Size Bulbs, 12 cms. or larger.

/VeW INDIAN BREEDER TULIPS 
Of the many new Breeder Tulips which we have been 
testing, we have specially selected this group because of 
their many outstanding qualities. These tulips capture 
tints and tones which are seldom found in any tulips now 
being offered. Because of their rich, rare tones which are 
usually associated with our early American Indian, they 
have been called the Indian Breeders. Their unusually 
large flowers are borne on tall, stately stems which lend a 
bold, yet dignified effect to your garden. 
DIXIE SUNSHINE. (28 inches high). We predict a great 
future for this tulip. An unusually large cup of soft

the cup is a light straw-yellow which blends into a tan- 
yellow at the edges. A distinctive and outstanding va- 
riety which deserves an important place in your garden.
