Beautiful Flowers from Bulhs 



Ycm can grow beautiful flowers from bulbs and prolong your flower season by many 

 months, if you will follow the few essentials as given throughout this catalog. 



The prime essential for success is to purchase the highest quality stock. Our close 

 association for several decades with the most critical bulb growers of Holland, France 

 and Japan, enables us to offer only Supreme Quality Bulbs, that alwa3's give you com- 

 plete satisfaction. 



OUTDOORS. Solid mass plantings in beds make a wonderful displaj- of color; how- 

 ever, the attractiveness of border planting should not be overlooked, as there you are able 

 to bring forth some of the most charming effects. Remember also the Rock Garden 

 which can be made the happy home of the early flowering small bulbs, such as the 

 Crocus. Snowdrops, Scilla, Muscari, etc., which naturalize so easily. 



INDOORS. By selecting the proper varieties for indoor culture, you can have charm- 

 ing flower companions during the long Winter months at which time the beauties of 

 outdoor blooms are so much longed for. 



GUARANTjiE. We use the utmost care to see that only first quality bulbs are sup- 

 plied and guarantee all bulbs to be true to name and of flowering age. It is due, however, 

 to the wide variance of climate, soils, seasons and methods of planting, that we are un- 

 able to guarantee that all bulbs we send out will bloom satisfactorily. We make careful 

 check tests on all bulbs we supply and with ordinary attention we know our bulbs will 

 flower and produce satisfactory results.
