ATTEHTIOH! 

 HIGH PRICES!! 



The annual army of Dutch 

 bulb salesmen is advancing on 

 the florists' trade in the United 

 States, fully determined again 

 to capture your orders at high 

 prices. 



If you are wise, you will not 

 place your order now. 



There is plenty of time to 

 buy at high prices. 



The information available, 

 together with a knowledge of 

 the situation in general and 

 the bulb markets at the present 

 time, proves conclusively that 

 the present high prices asked 

 for Holland bulbs will not hold 

 through the season unless some 

 great disaster should befall the 

 crop now in the ground. 



Hold your order.
