The Garden Magazine, June, 192 
A NY house, every house is more livable for flowers. You want them in your own 
house, and you look longingly in the florists’ windows in the winter time, 
wondering whether you can afford those yellow narcissi, which would brighten 
the dark library or the pink and blue hyacinths for the dining room. But you often feel 
that you cannot pay several dollars a dozen for flowers that will last only a few days. 
Grow Your Own Flowers Easily and Inexpensively 
You can afford flowers in your house from Christmas until Easter if yqu buy your 
bulbs from us and grow them yourself. The best bulbs of Paper-White Narcissi, 
among the loveliest flowers for the house, sell for only $3.50 per hundred, and one 
bulb often produces two flowers. Last winter these flowers sold for $2.00 a dozen 
in the florists’ shops. You can grow flowers for a few cents each for which you 
would otherwise pay 15 to 20 cents, and your own flowers last from 10 to 12 days. 
There Are No Bulbs Like Those From Holland 
For hundreds of years Holland has been 
growing the finest bulbs in the world —

There are thousands of growers of bulbs in Holland, but the best flowers come from 
bulbs grown by specialists, who have spent all their time perfecting certain varieties. 
Because of our long experience and our many visits there we are able to obtain for 
our customers from these specialists the finest quality of the finest varieties — even 
now when the war has greatly reduced the output of bulbs. 
Even the most inexperienced gardener need not hesitate to try growing our bulbs. By 
carefully following the directions successful results are always obtained. Planting the 
bulbs and watching them grow is a fascinating occupation for flower lovers of all de- 
grees of experience. Hundreds of customers have written us, telling us how successful 
they have been through following this method. Simply plant your bulbs in shallow 
boxes in soil from your garden or from a florist's shop if you live in a city. Keep 
them in a cool dark place and water occasionally until they are well rooted. Then 
bring them out to the light at intervals of ten days so that you may have a 
succession of flowers. When the buds are almost ready to open you may trans- 
plant them to jardinieres, fern dishes, 
or bowls if you wish. 
Our booklet contains complete instructions which will make failure practically 
impossible.

Admirntion of the town ! “I want to tell you how

two. — G. D. S., Uniontown, Ala.

You have felt it — when you have come in from a gray disagree- 
able day, which made you feel that winter would never end, to 
the rose glow of tulips and the spring fragrance of the narcissus.
