AMERICAN 
GROWN 
BULBS 
No longer need you depend upon foreign 
importations for spring-blooming bulbs. Uncle 
Sam offers home-grown bulbs of better quality 
at prices which save you freight and tariff 
charges. Tiy American-grown bulbs this fall 
and you’ll want them every year hereafter. 
Comparisons of quality will show you that in 
buying home-grown bulbs it pays to be 
) patriotic. 
12,000,000 Bulbs Ready 
Narcissus—of which we make a specialty— 
Tulips, Iris, Gladioli, Callas, Scillas, etc. All 
fine large bulbs—equa] in quality to any foreign 
grown stock. Awarded gold medal at the 
Jamestown Exposition. We are the largest 
American growers of bulbs and now have 8c 
acres under cultivation. Our parent concern, 
The Hubert Bulb Company, Ltd., of Guernsey, 
England, was establislied in 1823 and we have 
been growing bulbs in Virginia for more than 
five years. 
Best for Naturalization 
and also for forcing—American-grown bulbs 
have shown their sup2rior merit for these pur- 
poses in repeated experiments. Home-grown 
Narcissus are especially adapted to naturaliz- 
ing. They flower from five to ten days earlier 
than imported bulbs—a saving of time which 
means a great deal in forcing for early bloom. 
Price List free—special figures on 
quantities. 
Very Special—We have an unequalled 
mixture of Narcissus for naturalizing which we 
offer at these unprecedented prices: 100, 7oc.; 
1,000, $65; 5,000, f25.

I Grow Hardy Flowers 
Because I Love Them 
They have always appealed to me as permanent features of the garden about which there 
is personality and a sense of companionship. Annuals and “‘bedding plants” are brilliantly 
showy for a short season, but pass away like the chance acquaintance of the rush-a-day world. 
The hardy perennials are tried and constant friends—a part of our old associations and home- 
life. The charm of the old-fashioned hardy garden is in its reminder of home, with all of its 
tender memories and associations. 
Iris, Peonies, Phiox, Ete. 
My stock of these flowers is most complete and absolutely true to name. I have grown 
the plants that have been of special interest to me—the tricd and true things that are essen- 
tials in every hardy garden—with the view of offering complete collections of certain 
specialties. 1 find that my success during the eight years I have been developing my stock 
gives me the most varied and dependable assortment in the country. I have over a quarter 
million Iris and Peonies, in 420 kinds of the former and over 500 of the latter. My stock of 
Phlox is scarcely less complete. 
Everything is described in my book, ‘‘ Irises, Peonies, Phloxes ; 
and Hardy Plant Specialties,”? which my friends tell me is u catas 
logue that has humaninterest. Dll gladly send you a copy, free.
