Beckerts Bulbs for Fall Planting 



PEACE and the return to more nearly normal conditions in Europe gave a new impetus to the work of the Holland 

 bulb breeders, which was of necessity neglected during the war period. As a result of this intensive effort on the 

 part of our growers to make up for lost time, we are able to offer this year (on this and pages 2 and 14) a num- 

 ber of magnificent new Tulips and Daffodils which will be of particular interest to those who want and appreciate the best. 



The other pages of this Catalogue are devoted to our usual comprehensive list of choice standard varieties which 

 years of experience have proved can be relied upon to give the greatest pleasure and satisfaction under varying conditions. 

 We trust you will find our offerings this season more attractive than ever before.
