BECKERT'S ANNUAL AUTUMN CATALOGUE OF CHOICEST BULBS 



15 



Giant Trumpet Daffodils 



Narcissus Pseudo-Narcissus 



These are among the most charming of our spring Mowers, defying, 

 in their earliness, the rough winds <>l April to grace our lawns and 

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

 garden, but, by all means, grOUJ some. 



Dalfodils may be treated as advised for hyacinths; they are not 

 l>artieular as to soil and will thrive lor a number of years in ordinal s 

 soil. They arc, with lew exceptions, suitable for naturalizing and, 

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

 are \ ei j desirable for pot culture, I hree to h\ e bulbs in a 5- or 6-inch 

 l nt producing an attractive group. By planting one or more varieties 

 in succession, such a display may be enjoyed t hroughout the first three 

 months of the year. 



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

 Size Bulbs weigh 2 pounds per dozen; Mammoth Double-Crown 

 Bulbs, 3 pounds per dozen. See inside front cover for zone rates.
