 THE BULBS r-, 

 THIS FALL // 



THESE majestic tulips are without a rival in Spring flowers. Their adaptability 

 to our American climate due to their hardiness and vigor, their stately bearing 

 and exquisite shades make them now the most extensively planted of all spring- 

 flowering bulbs. Planted in beds, in clumps among perennials, or bordering shrubs, 

 their effect in May is beautiful beyond belief. 



During our forty years of dealings in every bulb growing 

 district of the universe we have worked up a successful 

 and reliable business connection, strengthened by periodical 

 visits of a representative, and latterly a yearly visit to the 

 war-burdened bulb districts of Europe. This should satisfy 

 antinp- our readers that our efforts to please have been worked 

 ^^^___^i to the limit, and proven by our thousands of constant cus- 

 tomers. Last year when many firms disappointed on deliv- 

 VaUghan S eries, Vaughan's Seed Store were there on time, and with full
