HIGH QUALITY BULBS ^ 



WHY WE USE THE EXPRESSION AND 

 OW WE ENDEAVOR TO MAINTAIN IT 



High Quality Bulbs are bulbs of proper flowering age, grown in a careful manner; 

 thoroughly ripened and cured; and selected for size. Ibc bulbs bsnd in our .\ulumn 

 (_ ;ii;ihigiu- arc.^iipwn in I !iiimi(l;i, ( ';ilif(Jinia, Japan, l'r;iiuc. but principall}' in Holland. W'c con- 

 tract with growers only for each variety listed. No grower in Holland, for example, grows all the 

 varieties of Dutch bulbs offered by us. Therefore, we ]ilace advance contracts for the various 

 varieties with specialists. The bulbs are carefully jiackcd .-md shipped td u> in tlu' .•mlninn. 



On their arrival in New York they are i nmediately unjjacked so as to avoid becoming 

 "heated" and carefully arranged in our own building, examined and p.issed on by thoroughly 

 trained men.
