Confidence 
Built on Quality 
NE of the greatest difficulties — if not the greatest — con- 
fronting garden owners, is the seeming difficulty of 
securing Novelties and High Class Varieties of bulbs, 
with the certainty of their being true-to-description and 
adaptable to American conditions. American people are 
known the world over for their desire to possess the newest and best 
of everything. To meet their particular requirement in flowering 
bulbs, John Scheepers & Co. was founded a few years ago. 
To-day, the name Scheepers stands for all that is best in worth- 
while bulbs. Following i6 years of unremitting work in selection and testing, 
the particular business success of the past five years is proof of our ability to satisfy 
the most exacting. For efforts to surpass our own best, we receive many highly 
appreciative testimonials. That alongside, from Mrs. Tiffany, is one of many. 
The same careful attention and sincere help which brought forth this testimonial 
are yours to command. Whether you need the services of John Scheepers & Co. 
in the selection of a few choice bulbs for your individual tastes or want acres con- 
verted into idealistic bulb gardens, we stand prepared to serve you. One of our 
plantings was on the estate of Samuel Untermyer, Esq., at Greystone, New York, 
where over 30,000 of our Darwin Tulips were planted. 
Our Dutch Bulb Garden at the International Flower Show in New York this 
spring was awarded the First Prize. At the Cleveland Show our exhibit won a 
Gold Medal. For Tulips shown at New York Botanical Gardens we were awarded 
the Gold Medal of the New York Horticultural Society. Our experimental gardens 
at Brookville, L. I., on the beautiful estate of T. A. Havemeyer, Esq., are a mag- 
nificent sight during blooming season. We use these to verify our opinions on 
practically all the varieties we handle. 
We will appreciate an opportunity of serving you, and will be glad to handle 
orders, large or small. You can place them with us in perfect confidence that you 
will receive true-to-name stock of the highest quality, carefully packed and labeled. 
This is our guarantee.

Gentlemen: 
The bulbs that you sold me 
for outdoor plemting and for 
forcing have been most satis- 
factory, producing strong bloom, 
true to type and color* I am 
having excellent success this 
winter with the ixiae, gladioli 
and alium and thank you for your 
courtesy in selecting for me such 
excellent stock and for giving me 
the information which has led to 
my increased success in forcing 
bulbs for winter bloom. 
Very sincerely yours, 
(Mrs* Charles L. Tiffany)

“A noble group of hardy plants that send up graceful spikes, six to ten feet high, with 
terminal flowerspikes of great beauty, from two to four feet long, bearing hundreds of 
flowers. We highly recommend them as being not only among the most beautiful but 
the most robust and free flowering of plants. They increase most rapidly and thrive under 
ordinary conditions. The colors are the most delightful soft shades of pink, yellow and 
white that harmonize so beautifully with many of the paler shades in the herbaceous 
border during July.” 
The above description, with picture, appeared in the March 1915 issue of The Gar- 
den Magazine. As the result, over 200 readers inquired immediately and many sent orders. 
Extra Heavy Flowering Clumps, ?3.oo each. Supply limited, order to-day. Plant as soon 
as possible. 
This is but another tribute to Messrs. R. Wallace & Co., Europe’s 
foremost Specialists in Iris, Eremuri, Lilies and other Rare Flowering 
Bulbs, the distribution of which forms part of our business. .Americans 
need no introduction to Wallace. Their Irises are world famous. 
Wallace’s Old World Lilies are a revelation in floral beauty that is 
easily transplanted to .American soil. Write for Booklets that really 
describe and illustrate. Mention what interests you most — we shall 
consider it a privilege to be afforded the opportunity of sending 
specific literature and advice.
