BECKERT'S ANNUAL AUTUMN CATALOGUE OF CHOICEST BULBS 



15 



Giant Trumpet Daffodils 



Narcissus Pseudo-Narcissus 



These are among the most charming of our spring flowers, defying, 

 in their earliness, the rough winds of April to grace our lawns and 

 borders. Plant them in masses or have a few pans in your window- 

 garden, but, by all means, grow some. 



Daffodils may be treated as advised for hyacinths; they are not 

 particular as to soil and will thrive for a number of years in ordinary 

 soil. They are, with few exceptions, suitable for naturalizing and, 

 while preferring partial shade, will thrive in full sun exposure. They 

 are verv desirable for pot culture, three to live bulbs in a 5 or 6-inch 

 pot producing an at t ractive group. Bv planting one or more varieties 

 in succession, such a display may be enjoyed throughout the first three 

 months of the year. 



If wanted by parcel post, add postage at your zone rate. First- 

 Size Bulbs weigh 2 pounds per dozen; Mammoth Double-Crown 

 Bulbs, 3 pounds per dozen. See inside front cover for zone rates.
