FROM NOW UNTIL 



July 1st, Not Later. 



There is no more useful garden material than what are known as Dutch Bulbs, 

 Hyacinths, Tulips, Narcissi, Crocus, etc. They give for a small outlay of time 

 and money an abundance of flowers in the house from December until April, 

 and in the garden almost before the snow is off the ground in the spring until 

 the middle of May. These Bulbs are grown almost exclusively in Holland, and 

 in enormous quantities, where they are sold at very low prices. Usually they 

 pass through the hands of two dealers, and more than double in price before 

 reaching the retail buyer in America. 



By ordering from me MOW, instead of waiting until fall, you save from 25 to 50 per 

 cent, in cost, get a superior quality of bulbs not usually to be obtained at any 

 price in this country, and have a much larger list of varieties to select from. My 

 orders are selected and packed in Holland, and are delivered to my customers 

 in the original packages immediately upon their arrival from Holland, perfectly 

 fresh and in the best possible condition. 



If you wish to take advantage of my very low prices, I must have your order not 

 later than July 1st, as I import Bulbs to order only. They need not be paid 

 for until after delivery, or taken if not of a satisfactory quality. 



My price-list is now ready, and may be had for the asking:
