BECKERT SEED AND BULB COMPANY 



Single Early Tulips 



These are the first of the Tulips to bloom, coming in 

 April with the daffodils. They are the best class for 

 growing indoors, and those varieties marked * are the 

 best forcers. Outdoor plantings can be made as late as 

 December 1st, covering the bulbs about 4 inches and 

 planting them about 5 inches apart. Just after the 

 ground freezes, cover the beds with leaves or manure 

 to a depth of 3 inches. This protection should not be 

 removed too early in the Spring. The letters denote 

 comparative earliness and figures height in inches. 



POSTAGE. If wanted by parcel post, add 7c per doz.; 

 35c per 100.
