WILLIAM N. CRAIG, WEYMOUTH 
A very cordial invitation is extended 
to all interested in hardy gardening to 
look over our gardens. May is a good time 
to see Dutch Bulbs, Lilies are in season 
from early June until mid-October, Her¬ 
baceous Perennials are in flower from 
April until December. Even in winter we 
usually have some bulbs or herbs showing 
flowers in warm locations. 
The great fluctuations in currency since 
the United Stales abandoned the gold 
standard which Holland still retains, and 
the added fact that the Dutch Government 
which now controls the bulb industry has 
fixed minimum prices below which no firms 
are allowed to sell, in order to stabilize 
the industry, has made moderate advances 
in prices necessary particularly in the case 
of tulips but advances made in this list 
are very moderate and we invite a com¬ 
parison with others handling the same high 
grade of bulbs. It is well to remember that 
the United States last year used only 10 per 
cent of Holland's exports of bulbs, less 
than one-fifth of those of Great Britain. 
We have a very low overhead cost and 
are thus able to give attractive prices. An 
inspection of our large stocks of imported 
and domestic bulbs is cordially invited, 
about all are here by September 15, many 
much earlier.
