BECKERT'S BULB IMPORTS FOR 1923

The Right Time to Buy 

 Bulbs Is When You See 

 Them in Bloom 



E 



VI. RY year, some of our friends, delighted at 

 the beauty of Hyacinths, Tulips, Daffodils, and 

 Crocuses they have seen, come to us wanting 

 "plants" immediately. They must be disappointed, 

 for these lovely flowers result from bulbs put into 

 the ground in the fall months. When told this, those 

 w ho are pleased with the bulb flowers promise to 

 come in again, but the time passes, the flowers are 

 forgotten, and the season rolls around without their 

 securing the benefit and the blessing of these lovely 

 things through fall planting. 



\\ e have now made special arrangements with our 

 I lolland growers so that we can have at hand infor- 

 mation which will permit us actually to take orders 

 for future delivery at any time after April 15, and 

 to deliver them at exactly the right time for the 

 simple job of putting them into the ground. 



Further, this early ordering, which permits us to 

 import just what our friends want, provides a dis- 

 tinct saving, as well as the best possible bulbs. 



We suggest, therefore, immediate attention. 

 Send to us or bring to us or telephone to us your 

 needs; ask us any questions, get prices, and we will 

 do all the rest up to the time the fine, plump, and 

 altogether wonderful bulbs are ready to deliver to 

 you, either at your home or in our store, imported 

 to your order. 



These import orders must be in hand prior to 

 July 1, but the best of all times to buy is when you 

 can see the actual flowers themselves in bloom. 



It should not be overlooked that vast improve- 

 ments have occurred in varieties, particularly of 

 Tulips and Daffodils or Narcissi. The modern high- 

 grade Darwin and Breeder Tulips and the wonderful 

 improved Daffodils provide blooms of the richest and 

 finest color and in vast variety. We have the best 

 ready for your consideration. The cost is exceedingly 

 small when compared with the effect produced, for no 

 other flowers can be so easily grown. It is simply a 

 matter of planting the bulbs in any ordinary garden 

 ground when you get them. They are hardy, and 

 they take care of themselves. 



Please note that this offering is made by the original 

 Beckert's, doing business for forty-six years right 

 here. We have no branch stores. We do have repu- 

 tation, experience, and facilities.
