THE stupendous tragedy of Europe has demoralized the bulb-business in Holland, and 

 those looking for really high grade bulbs, should exercise great caution this season, 

 when purchasing their bulbs. 



While bulbs are usually assorted and shipped from Holland during August, 

 September, the conditions then prevailing were so turbulent that we decided to have 

 our growers select and pack OUR bulbs after the country had once more settled down to regu- 

 lar routine, which has been possible during the past few weeks. 



We therefore only received our Holland bulbs on October I 4th last and they prove to 

 be of our usual high quality. Of course, most of these bulbs were imported by us ON OR- 

 DERS for our exclusive trade, but we have a few thousand of some varieties which we now 

 offer to gardeners or their principals (we do not sell to the wholesale trade). 



To induce those interested to try some of our high grade bulbs and compare them at 

 flowering time with bulbs obtained elsewhere, we offer this line stock at a great reduction from 

 our regular prices for quick orders. Even if you have already bought all you need, it will pay 

 you to try just a few of ours. 



All our bulbs are guaranteed true to name
