Dutch Bulbs and Plants 

 direct from Holland 



Have you ever seen a real Dutch Bulb catalog — a 

 catalog of Dutch Bulbs issued by the house that grew them? 



Do you understand the difference in sizes and 

 qualities that exist in Dutch Bulbs — 

 do you realize that your lack of success 

 with these Harbingers of Spring may 

 be due to the fact that each Fall you 

 are planting culls, instead of real firsts? 



_^^ The Pride of 

 Haarlem Tu- 

 lip has beau- 

 tiful carminy rose blooms 

 this size. 



Impelled by the increasing American demand for the choicest 

 bulbs, by the tendency of the middleman to sell the cheaper sortings 

 at the price of the best — 



the largest growers of Bulbs and Plants in Holland 



will hereafter sell direct to the consumer from their American Branch 

 House. This is the first direct branch of any Dutch Grower in America 

 — though the same firm has branches in other leading countries. 



Our catalog will appeal to all flower lovers — to the man who 

 buys ten tulips, hyacinths or daffodils, and the man who buys ten 

 thousand — to those who want Spring flowering bulbs outdoors, as 

 well as those who want the best for forcing indoors. 



Our shipment of Dutch Bulbs for Fall Planting is now being made up. We suggest 

 that you order early — as it will be impossible to fill orders after this American allotment 

 is sold. A few prices which show what real first quality bulbs cost when bought direct: 



Hyacinths Tulips Narcissus (Daffodils) Crocus 



$2 per 100 up $1 per 100 up 75c per 100 up 40c per 100 up 



SHALL WE SEND THAT DUTCH BULB CATALOG?

Fair's Bulbs Imported to Order 

 Special Discounts to Early Buyers 



Many inquiries have been received from customers who desire to obtain 

 rare bulbous Irises and the other plants not usually offered in American 

 catalogues. 



Others, who have been pleased with the superior quality of the plants I 

 have supplied them, have asked if it would be possible for me to furnish 

 them with Daffodils, Tulips, Hyacinths, etc., for fall planting. 



To meet this demand, I have prepared a new little Bulb Booklet which 

 lists all of the standard favorites, in addition to many new and rare ones. 



These will be imported direct on customers' individual orders only; by 

 this means larger and finer bulbs may be secured at prices less than usually 

 are charged for bulbs ol average quality. 



A SPECIAL DISCOUNT OF 10 PER CENT ON ALL 

 ORDERS* RECEIVED BEFORE JULY 1st 



As the finest bulbs can only be obtained by placing orders in advance, 

 it is of the greatest importance both to me and to you that you specify your 

 wants as early as possible; and for this reason a special discount of 10% 

 will be granted on orders received before July ist, 191 1. 



Booklet ready now. I'll be glad to send a copy if you wish it.
