BECKERT SEED AND BULB COMPANY 



Bed of Cottage Tulips. 



Cottage Tulips are the Lilies of Tulipdom. 

 The flowers have long, graceful petals gener- 

 ally turned back at the tips and are borne on 

 strong, slender stems. They bloom in May at 

 the same time as the Darwin and Breeder 

 Tulips and help to enlarge the range of colors 

 with their bright yellows and brilliant reds, as 

 well as the more delicate pastel shades.
