BECKERT'S ANNUAL AUTUMN CATALOGUE OF CHOICEST BULBS 



Beckert's Gorgeous Double Tulips 



THE different varieties of Beckert's Double Early Tulips are unsurpassed for formal bedding or group plantings, on 

 account of their low growing habit and distinctive colors. Given a sunny location, fairly good soil and good drainage, 

 they produce a prolonged and gorgeous display. It is possible to obtain striking effects in group plantings as practically 

 all colors are of uniform height when in bloom. We list below a number of the best varieties which are all excellent for 

 bedding or forcing, although not quite as early as the single varieties. If grown in pots, do not attempt flowering before 

 they are well rooted. The figures following varieties indicate height in inches. The varieties preceded by a * may be 

 flowered from January to March.

Beckert's Parrot Tulips 



IT is unfortunate that this variety is not planted more 

 often. This group of tulips has flowers of immense size, 

 presenting truly marvelous shades and markings, with the 

 petals quaintly laciniated at the edges. They are excep- 

 tionally showy and most effective in flower borders. 

 Grown in hanging baskets the drooping flowers look 

 like Orchids.
