BECKERT'S ANNUAL AUTUMN CATALOGUE OF CHOICEST BULBS 



7 



Double Early Tulips 



Beckett's 

 Double Tulips 



The double varieties cannot be forced so early or readily as 

 the single. One of the earliest, Salvator Rosa, may be had by 

 the middle of January, while varieties preceded by a star (*) 

 may be flowered from January to March. The flowers are large 

 and brilliant and are effective in beds or groups. If grown in 

 pots, do not attempt flowering before they are well rooted.

HYACINTHS 



Beckert's Giant Exhibition Bulbs, 19 - 20 cm. 



Far oftener than is generally recognized, inferior stocks of 

 bulbs are sold under the caption "Exhibition Hyacinths." While 

 it is impossible for anyone to judge the shade or form of the 

 flower that is tucked away within the inner recesses of a bulb, 

 the one criterion to judge by is size, and in offering genuine 

 Exhibition Hyacinths, we feel that the truth should be told — 

 size should be stipulated, 19 to 20 cm. Any other description, 

 no matter how alluring the adjectives, does not give evidence 

 of Exhibition Hyacinth standard. 



These are varieties selected for their large-sized spikes, ele- 

 gance of form, and beauty and richness of color. The bulbs are 

 of mammoth size — the cream of the crop — and naturally com- 

 mand advanced prices. We offer this grade only in limited quan- 

 tities and request early orders for them. Exhibition Hyacinth 

 bulbs are unsurpassed for growing in pots but are not suitable 

 for outdoor work; they are too large to grow in Hyacinth glasses 

 but may be flowered in any large vase, if this is preferred to pot 

 culture. If to be sent by parcel post, add postage at your zone 

 rate. One dozen bulbs weigh 4 pounds. 



Prices of the following varieties. 40 cts. each, $4.00 per doz., 

 $30.00 per 100
