BECKERT'S ANNUAL AUTUMN CATALOGUE OF CHOICEST BULBS 5 



Beckert's Cottage or Garden Tulips 



The Cottage Tulips come into bloom in early May, after the Early Single varieties have passed. They are 

 hardy and robust, with long, slender, but very stiff stems. The flowers are mostly long and oval, many of them 

 with the petals gracefully reflexed. The Cottage Tulips as a class are rich in the more delicate and artistic shades 

 of yellow, orange, and fawn with salmon, old-rose and amber. They are the best of all Tulips for cutting and, 

 although they develop best when planted outdoors, they may be grown in pots and brought into bloom to succeed 

 the earlier kinds of Tulips.
