Grown Bulbs 
Equal in every respect to foreign grown 
stock, and in many ways superior—de- { 
pendable in quality, true to name, free 
from disease and ready for planting 
early in the season. 
Best for Forcing! 
Careful experiments with American- 
grown bulbs have demonstrated that they 
will flower from five to ten days earlier ] 
than bulbs from Holland. This saving of 
time is very important in forcing. 
Twelve Million Bulbs! 
We make a specialty of Narcissus and 
have 12,000,000 fine, large bulbs of the 
standard varieties to ship on short notice. 
On our farms there are now 80 acres 
planted in bulbs and we are the largest 
American growers of bulbs. 
Many Years’ Experience! 
Our concern is a branch of the Hubert 
Bulb Co., Ltd., of Guernsey, England, } 
established in 1823. We have been grow- 
ing bulbs in Virginia for five years and 
our long experience, combined with favor- 
able soil and other conditions, has enabled 
us to produce stock of the finest quality. 
Awarded Gold Medal at Jamestown Exposition.

809A Penn Street, Reading, Pa. 
HAVE spent eight years 
studying hardy plants and | 
developing my collection of 
Iris, Peonies, Phlox, Delphin- 
iums, Oriental Poppies, Pyre- 
thrums and Japanese Anemones. 
The Plants I offer are not bought 
and sold, but grown at Wyo- 
missing Nurseries — they are 
strong and healthy, true to name, 
and of the very best quality. 
My stock has not been offered 
heretofore, as | was determined 
first to make it as varied and as 
good as any other to be found 
in America,— or even better. 
My present stock includes
