Breeder Tulips 
Breeders are the one- or two-toned forms of the old striped Florist 
Tulips; originally named “Mother” Tulips, the selection and purification, 
as well as the introduction under the name of Breeder Tulips was the 
life work of just one Dutch grower. They are easily distinguished from 
the Darwins by their yellow centers and the typical stardust on the out- 
side of their petals. They bloom at the same time as the Darwin Tulips 
in May. 
The rich and artistic blendings of purple and old gold, bronze and 
terra cotta, brown and violet, buff and maroon, have made these 
Breeders immensely popular.
