Crocus in the Grass 



ORDER YOUR BULBS EARLY 



The quantities of bulbs being imported this year 

 are very much below normal. Prices of Hyacinths 

 and Tulips are the lowest in years; this may cause 

 an increased demand and as a result stocks may run 

 out before the close of the season. We, therefore, 

 advise ordering early and avoid any possibility of 

 disappointment.
