We are taking a Great Risk! 



In booking orders at the prices quoted 

 herein, as they are based on bulbs, etc., 

 coming in 



FREE OF DUTY, 



but we cannot delay this Catalogue any 

 longer, as the bulb season will soon be 

 upon us. 



So we are taking the chances of losing 

 10%, 10% or possibly 30$, which are the 

 rates under discussion in the new tariff 

 bill. 



WE RESERVE THE RIGHT how- 

 ever, as soon we find that a duty will be 

 exacted, to decline all orders that have 

 not been accepted by us at these prices.

Hyacinths, "Dutch" Romans. 



These are growing in favor among forcers, to follow the 

 more expensive French Romans. Bulbsaverage i% to i% 

 inches in diameter, or 4% inches in circumference, but they 

 throw very fine spikes of blnom properly forced, to come in 

 not before January. The small bulbs of some varieties are 

 far superior to others. We have carefully experimented 

 and selected the varieties we send out as being very satis- 

 factory for florists.
