July, 1913 



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 almost 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 reach- 

 ing 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 Holland, 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 compre- 

 hensive catalogue of Trees, Shrubs, Hardy Plants, and Bulbs pub- 

 lished, may be had for the asking but if you wait to see it before 

 ordering, you will probably be too late.
