FERRY-MORSE SEED CO. 11 Breeder Tulips For the Open Ground The flowers of the Breeder tulips are self colored in dull or soft tones of buff, bronze or purple and among them will be found some of the most splendid and beauti- ful of all tulips; they are usually large, of excellent form and borne on tall, sturdy stems. Not only on account of their large size and odd but beautiful colors, but also because of their great lasting qualities, this class is very popular for garden decoration. While not so well adapted for forcing as some of the other late flowering tulips they do exceptionally well out of doors, and if planted in irregular groups with the more V brilliant Cottage or Darwin sorts they produce a display in the early summer months that is most effective.
