  Our 
  bulbs 
  are 
  true 
  north 
  of 
  France 
  grown 
  stock. 
  

   They 
  are 
  of 
  superior 
  quality, 
  free 
  from 
  disease, 
  and 
  

   produce 
  the 
  finest 
  thick-petaled 
  flowers. 
  This 
  matter 
  

   of 
  northern 
  France 
  grown 
  stock 
  is 
  of 
  considerable 
  

   importance 
  to 
  you 
  as 
  southern 
  stock 
  has 
  proved 
  very 
  

   disappointing 
  on 
  account 
  of 
  its 
  tenderness 
  and 
  sus- 
  

   ceptibility 
  to 
  disease. 
  Our 
  stock 
  is 
  well 
  suited 
  to 
  

   growing 
  outdoors 
  even 
  where 
  winters 
  are 
  quite 
  

   severe.
