Save 20% on Holland Bulbs 



by ordering before July 1st 



Shipped direct to You in Growers' Original Packages 



Early orders greatly facilitate the handling of our bulb 

 orders. We therefore offer a discount of 20% on all those re- 

 ceived before July 1st. The bulbs will be shipped to our 

 customers at the proper time for planting. 



The high quality of the bulbs that we have been importing 

 will remain unchanged and will be obtained from the same re- 

 liable growers who have supplied us for the past eighteenyears. 

 These bulbs are especially selected and exceedingly uniform in 

 size so that you may obtain the best results either for forcing 

 or out-door growing. Bills will be rendered when bulbs are 

 ready for shipment.

LAST winter was a hard one 

 -/ on old fashioned plants. 

 Many a garden looks deserted. 

 But somehow our old timey 

 ones seem to winter well. Per- 

 haps our stock is a bit sturdier 

 than others — we have a notion 

 it is. Sturdy climates produce 

 sturdy plants; likewise men. 

 A hardy garden that is not 

 hardy makes one unhappy. It 

 belies itself . Grown as our plants 

 are — up hereat North Abington 

 in this strenuous New England 

 climate, is a guarantee to you, 

 that if any hardy plants will 

 actually prove hardy— ours will. 

 Do you want some of them ? 

 It's not too late to plant them— 

 order what you need for replace- 

 rr> ents, or send for our catalogue 

 and make your selections.
