FROM HOLLAND 

 TO YOU— 

 THE WORLD'S BEST BULBS 



The world's leading producer of high grade bulbs is the picturesque country of 

 Holland. Every year from this toyland of painted roofs, wandering dikes, and 

 sky-blue tiles we import bulbs of unequalled quality and of many 

 varieties, bringing color and fragrance to flower-lovers all over America. 



Picked By Expert Horticulturists 



There are thousands of growers of bulbs in Holland, but the best flowers 

 come from bulbs perfected by specialists who have spent their lives 

 working with certain varieties. In fact, the perfection of some of the Hol- 

 land bulbs is actually the work of several generations. Because of our 

 long experience and many visits with the best Holland horticulturists 

 we are able to obtain for you their finest products at a reasonable cost. 



Flowers Are Gay and Sympathetic Companions 



If you grow flowers yourself you not only have the enjoyment of watch- 

 ing them through all the interesting stages of their development, but 

 you will also enjoy their beauty the year round and at a fraction of the 

 price you would have to pay at your florist's. 



Bulbs Mean Flowers in Your Home or Garden 



A glance at our price list will show that it is far cheaper to grow your 

 own flowers than to buy them already potted. For a few cents each 

 you can grow hyacinths, tulips, and narcissi which would cost $1.00 a 

 plant or more in a retail shop. Grown in the home they will brighten 

 your rooms from Christmas to Easter. 



The bulbs require very little care. Simply plant them in soil from your garden, or use soil 

 from a florist's shop if you live in the city. Keep them in a cool, dark place and water 

 them occasionally until they are well rooted. Then bring them out to the light at inter- 

 vals of ten days so that you may have a succession of flowers. When the buds are ready 

 to open, you may transplant the bulbs to jardinieres, fern dishes, or bowls if you wish. 



Why You Must Order Quickly 



We import bulbs to order only and must have word not later than July 1st 

 from old or new customers who want part of this year's shipment. By 

 ordering at once you get a special discount on a quality of bulbs not usually 

 to be obtained in the United States at any price.

Read What These People Say: 



Admiration of the town! "I want to tell you how 

 magnificent my daffodils are. They are the admiration of 

 the town, and have given us untold pleasure. Numbers 

 of my friends have asked me to order for them. Each 

 daffodil is the size of a teacup. Many bulbs have 

 four flowers, and not one has failed to produce two." 

 — G. D. S., Uniontown, Ala. 



Beyond Expectations ! * 'I must tell you what ex- 

 cellent results I have had with the bulbs I ordered from 

 you. By Easter, all the hyacinths and tulips showed large, 

 healthy buds, which have matured far beyond all ex- 

 pectation. The quality of bulbs offered by you, even in 

 cheaper mixtures, far surpasses that often sold at much, 

 higher prices."— R. C. A., Kansas City, Mo. 

 Nothing short ©f wonderful! "I have in my front 

 window, as the admiration of all the passersby, the finest 

 group of tulips ever seen in this city. With their gorgeous 

 colors, odd shapes and exquisite shades of color, they are 

 nothing short of wonderful." — J. A. S., Portland, Me.
