Breeder Tulips 
(May-flowering) 
These majestic Tulips have gained important prominence in the gardens of real amateurs, as 
they produce a most artistic effect by their refined flowers, which are held on heavy upright stems. 
Their fascinating colors are rich shades and tints in glorious autumnal purple and gold, and bronze 
orange, yellowish, soft copper and combinations of such colors. These colors which rival the glorious 
rich tints of Indian Summer, are not to be found in other May-flowering Tulips, and on account of 
their enormous size and vigorous growth, yet perfect in form and proportion, Breeder Tulips are a 
wonderful addition to the garden.
