SPECIAL NOTICES. 
I. Quality.— We annually piakc a professional visit to the principal "bulb farms” of Holland, to inspect 
the crops, and arrange for our supply of Dutch-grown bulbs from healthy "stocks” and from 
the most reliable growers ; we can therefore recommend those offered with the utmost confidence, 
feeling sure that if the bulbs receive proper cultural treatment they will give greatest satisfaction. 
Simp/e and short practical cultural directions head each family of bulbs, etc., in the folloiving pages.

reached on foot in a few minutes from Surbiton Station, S.W.R., or by cab, the fare being One 
Shilling to the Pound Farm entrance of the Nurseries. Visitors will at all seasons find many things 
of interest and beauty in Hardy Bulbs, Tubers and Herbaceous Perennial Plants. In spring 
cur new English Daffodils make a brilliant display, and a fine contrast in colour is produced by 
great sheets of Chionodoxas, Anemones, Muscari, Early-flowering Tulips, etc. , surpassing description.
