BECKERT'S TULIPS 



ECKERTS TULIPS is more than a phrase — it implies a guarantee 

 of quality; an expert knowledge of production, and a wide acquaintance 

 with reputable growers — it means "The Finest Tulips." 



Few spring effects are so cheery and heartening as a 

 border of Tulips — or beds of Daffodils. Their warm 

 colors radiate the spirit of sunshine and gladness as 

 do no other flowers the whole year through. 



Now is the Time to Plan 

 For Next Spring's Display 



To ensure that highest measure of effect that comes with harmony of color, 

 height and season of bloom, the bulbs you plant this fall must be carefully 

 selected and uniformly well-grown. Our forty-odd years of experience and our 

 close association with the Holland growers enable us to offer you the finest bulbs 

 that Holland produces — bulbs that are sure to live up to your expectations. 



Beckert's 1921 Bulb Catalogue contains much of interest to every gardener 

 and home owner. You'll find in it not only descriptions and prices, but 

 hints and suggestions that you'll be glad to have. Write for a copy to-day.

The Garry - nee - Dule Strain 



White Delphiniums 



For several years Wm. Toole, Sr., has been de- 

 veloping a strain of White Hybrid Delphiniums. 

 The first start was made from a chance white seed- 

 ling of D. Formosum which was crossed with the 



best Hybrids. The result is some very attractive Hybrids 

 ranging from creamy to pure white. Selected two year old 

 plants, 50c each, $5.00 per dozen. Seeds, 50c per pkt. of 100 seeds. 

 Please ask for our illustrated Catalogue "Hardy Plants for 

 the Home Garden." Not as large as some other lists but inter- 

 esting enough to deserve your attention. Gladly mailed free. 

 Let's get acquainted.
