Bulbs are practically all grown in Holland and as we are large importers we get the pick and import only "firsts", although great quantities known as "seconds" 

 are on the market, and are often sold by local dealers. Having been engaged in the bulb importing business for three-quarters of a century, we know intimately 

 all the best growers of the different varieties in Holland; some excel in growing one kind, and some in another, so that we are in a position to get the best qualities 

 of All Varieties. 



To obtain the best we advise you to order bulbs as soon as you receive this catalogue. Of course such orders being specially imported for you with our own 

 orders, will not be subject to cancellation. Bulbs and roots mature and ripen at different periods during the late summer and autumn, and shipment will be

THE NEW 

 43 IN DEEP BULB PLANTER 



IT MAKES PLANTING 

 EASY! 



This handy tool makes the type of hole best 

 suited to bulbs. 

 They do best 

 when planted 

 with the root 

 end resting on a 

 firm, flat base, 

 free from air 

 pockets. It is 

 equally useful 

 for setting out 

 small plants. 

 Merely push 

 the tool into the 

 soil with a slight 

 twist. Continue 

 this motion as 

 you remove the 

 tool and the soil 

 comes with it. 

 leaving a clean 

 flat-bottomed 

 liole. This soil 

 is pushed out 

 when the opera- 

 tion is repeated. 



Price, 50c, 

 transporta- 

 tion paid.
