. Beckert's bulbs and seeds for fall planting. Commercial catalogs Seeds; Bulbs (Plants) Seeds Catalogs; Flowers Seeds Catalogs; Garden tools Catalogs. 4 W. C. Beckert's Autumn Catalogue of Bulbs and Seeds, N. S., Pittsburg, SINGLE EARLY TULIPS TULIPS For grand effect as an early spring flower, the Tulip probably heads the list of bulbous plants. They are so entirely hardy, easily cared for, flower so freely in cit}- or country, sun or shade, and as with proper selection of varieties, their flowers may be enjoyed from April to almost June, it naturally follows that they are becoming immensely popular. By planting scillas, crocus, snowdrops, etc., between the bulbs the same bed or space of ground will provide a beautiful display of these early gems, preceding and in no manner interfering with the Tulips. Named varieties are to be preferred for satisfying results, and as we give height and relative blooming season of most varieties, selections as to color and season may be readily made. Varieties preceded by a star (*) are preferable for forcing. The numbers preceding names indicate the height in inches, the figures following the names refer'to their relative flowering season. No. i being the earliest, and No. 5 the latest. There being but slight difference in the season of any two successive classes. No. 1 and No. 2, and No. 2 and No. 3, and so on, may be planted together. Plant 5 to 6 inches apart, and cover one and one-half or twice their depth. For attractive beds, borders, etc., the following combinations are effective and may be varied as desired : Duchesse de Parma and Fabiola, Chrysolora and Dusart, Chrysolora and President Lincoln, Chrysolora and Pottebaker White, Chry- solora. President Lincoln and Prince of Austria, Princess Marianne and RoseGrisdelin, Rosa Mundi and Rose Superbe, Kaiserkroon and Queen Victoria, etc., etc. For house culture plant four to six bulbs in a 6-inch pot, and in pro- portion for the larger sizes of bulb-pans, treat as advised
