Wherein American-Grown Bulbs 

 of Tulips, Hyacinths, etc. , Surpass 



NO bulb is better than the 

 soil and climate that pro- 

 duce it, also, no place on 

 earth can claim a more fertile 

 soil and more smiling climate 

 than we enjoy at our Nurseries. 

 These two facts combine to 

 give Cottage Gardens' Bulbs 

 many exceptional qualities. 

 They ripen weeks ahead of the 

 Dutch Bulbs and ripen more 

 thoroughly. The bulbs are 

 more solid, harder, and conse- 

 quently ship and keep better 

 than the imported product. 

 Vitality, vigor and vim are the 

 principal characteristics of the 

 bulb product of Cottage Gar- 

 dens Nurseries. They are so 

 full of vitality, they thrive. 

 j vigorously, and the surplus vigor causes them to burst 

 into bloom with a vim all their own.
