HIGH QUALITY BULBS 



WHY WE USE THE EXPRESSION AND 

 HOW WE ENDEAVOR TO MAINTAIN IT 



I 



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

 thoroughly ripened and cured; and selected for size. llu' bulbs listed in nur .\utuiiin 

 Catalogue are grown in P.ernnida, California, Japan, iM-ance. but principally in Holland. We con- 

 tract with growers only for each variety listed. N'o grower in Holland, for e.xample, grows all the 

 varieties of Dutch bulbs offered by us. Therefore, we place advance contracts for the variou.? 

 varieties with specialists. The bulbs are carefully packed and shipped to us in the autumn. 



On their arrival in New York they are i umediately unpacked so as to avoid beconiinr 

 ■'heated" and carefulh- arranged in mir own building, examined and passeil on by thoroughly 

 trained men.
