BECKERT'S ANNUAL AUTUMN CATALOGUE OF CHOICEST BULBS 



Mammoth Breeder Tulips 



The Breeder Tulips have been favorites in 1 [olland for centuries, but it is only within recent years that they have become known 

 and appreciated in America, and now they bid fair to rival even the Darwin Tulips in popularity. 



Their majestic size and remarkable colors place them distinctly in a class by themselves. Every lover of the more somber shades 

 cannot fail to revel in the rich and artistic blendings of purple and old gold, bronze and tcrra-cotta, brown and violet, and buff and 

 maroon found among the Breeders. They are late to bloom but surpass in size and vigor the Darwins, although lacking the color 

 brilliancy of the latter. The flowers are, many of them, sweet-scented and all splendid for cutting as they retain for a long time their 

 form and color. 



Some of the Breeders are excellent for forcing and all are unsurpassed for outdoor bedding. The varieties which we offer are 

 among the finest of the type — all reliable bloomers of giant size and vigorous growth.
