BULB CATALOGUE 



THERE are no flowers that give more pleasure 

 and satisfaction than the winter and spring 

 flowering bulbs. 



These bulbs come mostly from Holland where 

 the most favorable conditions of soil and climate, 

 aided by centuries of the most painstaking cultural 

 methods, have made it possible to supply less favored 

 nations with a wealth of gorgeous beauty at a cost 

 that seems trifling in comparison with the pleasure 

 afforded. It is true that France, Japan, China and 

 Bermuda contribute a share of the bulbs offered in 

 this catalogue but their part is small compared with 

 the cargoes that go forth annually from the ports 

 of Rotterdam and Amsterdam. 



We have therefore to thank principally the pains- 

 taking Dutch growers whose forethought makes it 

 possible for us to have so much of pleasure and de- 

 light at the time of year when the returns are the 

 most acceptable. Soon after the disappearance of 

 snow and long before the ordinary house flowers are 

 available, the hardy Crocus and Snowdrop may be 

 had in their perfection; then the fair and stately 

 Hyacinth, followed by the varied and exquisite Tulip 

 and the graceful and charming Narcissus. 



Our name has long been the standard for that 

 which is best in our line. There are few who can 

 supply as good bulbs as ourselves and no one, no matter what his pretentions may be, is in better posi- 

 tion to procure first-class bulbs true to name and of unexcelled quality. Now is the time to order. The 

 cost is small and Ferry's bulbs are rich in satisfaction.
