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 buf tones, at- 
tention was drawn to these Tulips, which have now become the 
most popular late Tulips. And they deserve 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.
