BREEDER TULIPS 
Discarded by their originators, the old Dutch gardeners, because they had no 
stripes or feathers, the Breeders were more or less neglected and grown only in 
some obscure corners, until an appreciation for the so-called “art colors'’ awakened. 
With the revival of the taste for bronze, brown and buff tones, attention was drawn 
to these Tulips, which have now become the most popular late Tulips. And they de- 
serve their popularity, not only for their peculiar and odd colors, but also for their 
great lasting qualities. In size and height they frequently surpass even the finest 
Darwins.
