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 excl 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 
made as follows in the absence of contrary instructions. 
Our August shipment includes Lilium Harrisii, Freesias, Roman and French Hyacinths, Paper White Narcissus and Callas. Our September and October 
Main Shipment includes the general line of bulbs, such as Hyacinths, Tulips, Narcissus, Crocus, Iris, Peonies, Snowdrops, Scillas, etc. Our November 
shipment includes Lily of the Valley, Hardy Lilies, etc.
