BECKERT'S ANNUAL AUTUMN CATALOGUE OF CHOICEST BULBS

Giant Trumpet Daffodils 



Narcissus Pseudo-Narcissus 



These are among the most charming of our spring (lowers, defying, 

 in their earliness, the rough winds of April to grace our lawns and 

 borders. Plant them in masses or have a few pans in your window- 

 garden, but, by aJI means, grow some. 



Dallodils maj be treated as advised lor hyacinths; thej are HOI 

 particular as to soil and will thrive for a number of years in ordinary 

 soil. Thej are. with few exceptions, suitable for naturalizing and, 

 while preferring partial shade, will thrive in full sun exposure. They 

 arc verj desirable for pot culture, three to live bulbs in a 5- or 6-inch 

 pot producing an attractive group. By planting one or more varieties 

 in succession, such a display may be enjoyed throughout the lirst three 

 months of the year. 



If wanted by parcel post, add postage at your zone rate. First-
