SPECIAL NOTICES. 
I. Quality.— When the Bulbs in Holland are in flower, we annually make a professional visit to the 
principal "bulb farms” to inspect the crops, and our supply of Dutch-grown bulbs is drawn from 
the healthiest "stocks” of the most reliable growers ; we can therefore recommend them with 
the utmost confidence, and feel sure that if the bulbs receive proper cultural treatment they will give 
great satisfaction. Simple and practical cultural directions head each family of bulbs, etc., in 
the following pages.

brilliancy of our new Daffodils, Chionodoxas, Anemones, etc., surpasses description. From August
