Supreme Quality Bulbs 



Our Fall Bulb Catalog is presented to you this year with the full assurance that the same 

 Supreme Quality Bulbs, which have given our customers and friends the utmost satisfaction in 

 past years, will be furnished again this season. 



Close association for many years with the most critical bulb growers in France, Holland, Japan 

 and America enables us to maintain the highest standard in quality of all bulbs offered in this 

 catalog. t 



TIME OF DELIVERY. Bulbs and roots mature at different dates in Autumn and delivery will 

 be made as closely as ripening conditions will permit, as follows: September — Lilium Harrisi, 

 Lilium Candidum, French Roman Hyacinths. October — Tulips, Dutch Hyacinths, Crocus and 

 Miscellaneous Bulbs. November — Lilies and Lilies-of-the-Valley. Some seasons Lilium Album, 

 Auratum and Rubrum arrive from Japan too late for Fall planting, in which case we make 

 delivery of these in the Spring. 



Helping to Beautify Pittsburgh's Parks 



Among many testimonial letters, the following letter from Mr. James Moore, Superintendent 

 of Pittsburgh Bureau of Parks, is most gratifying to us and further proves the supreme qual- 

 ity of our stocks.

 Pittsburgh, Penna. 



Gentlemen : 



The bulbs you supplied last Fall have given us the finest display of blooms this Spring 

 that we have ever had. There were no blind bulbs, all were true-to-name and the quality, 

 size and substance of bloom left nothing to be desired. 



(Signed), JAMES MOORE. Supt. 

 Bureau of Parks, Pittsburgh, Pa.
