Darwin Tulips, the Grandest of all Tulips 



BULBS 

 Imported to Order 



THERE is no more useful garden material than what are known 

 as Dutch Bulbs, Hyacinths, Tulips, Narcissi, Crocus, etc. They 

 give for a small outlay of time and money an abundance of 

 flowers in the house from December until April, and in the garden al- 

 most before the snow is off the ground in the spring until the middle 

 of May. These Bulbs are grown almost exclusively in Holland, and in 

 enormous quantities, where they are sold at very low prices. Usually, 

 they pass through the hands of two dealers, and more than double in 

 price before reaching the retail buyer in America. 



If you order from us NOW, you 

 save from 20 to 40 per cent. 



in cost, get a superior quality of Bulbs not usually to be obtained at 

 any price in this country. Our orders are selected and packed in Hol- 

 land, and are delivered to our customers in the original packages 

 immediately upon their arrival from Holland, perfectly fresh and in 

 the best possible condition. 



If you wish to take advantage of our very low prices, make out 

 your order on this sheet, and mail it at once. Send reference 

 (bank or responsible business house) with order and you need not pay 

 for the Bulbs until after delivery, or take them, if not of a satisfactory 

 quality. Our price-list, the most comprehensive catalogue of Trees, 

 Shrubs, Hardy Plants, and Bulbs published, may be had for the asking 

 but if you wait to see it before ordering, you will probably be too late.
