Beckert's Single Early Tulips 



A Bed of Beckert's Single Early Tulips 



THE group contains some of the gayest colors of all 

 tulips. They are the best of all tulips for forcing, and 

 our list of varieties have been picked with infinite care 

 from close observations of trials in the tulip fields of Hol- 

 land. If planted outdoors these early tulips come into 

 bloom just as the daffodils pass out of the garden picture, 

 to help prolong Spring joys. 



The figures following varieties indicate height in inches, 

 and the order of flowering is indicated by the letters A, 

 B, C and D. The difference in time of flowering is not 

 great, so that those under the A class can be planted with 

 those of the B class, and the B class with the C class, and 

 so on.
