Farr ’s Holland Bulbs for 1934 
This Bulb List includes only the varieties which are most liked and most ordered by visitors to our 
Annual Bulb Display, in Weiser Park. More than 100 old and new varieties of Tulips, Narcissi, Hyacinths, 
etc., have failed to survive our “Display Test” and have been discarded. You can order from this list of 
bulbs with the assurance that EVERY variety is outstanding and superior. 
When to Plant: 
Plant bulbs in this list during October and November—anytime 
before the ground freezes; for Tulips, the later the better. 
How to Plant: 
Plant bulbs in sandy, well-drained soil to a depth equal to three 
times their own diameter, excepting Lilium candidum, shallower and 
Tulipa Clusiana, deeper. Cover beds with straw or hay, but not 
before ground is solidly and permanently frozen for winter. Remove 
this mulch in spring when bulb-leaves appear. 
Where to Plant: 
In beds by themselves; in the vacant spaces of perennial beds and 
borders; similarly in rockeries; in front of shrub and foundation 
plantings; in fact, any place where room exists and soil permits. 
DARWIN TULIPS 
Darwin Tulips are superior as cut-flowers, ideal for colorful contrasts in beds and 
borders, by themselves, or in shrubbery foregrounds here and there. Groups and 
masses of 25 or more bulbs of one color produce most striking and beautiful effects. 
They are noted for their splendid form, exquisite colors, tall stems, and giant blooms. 
6 bulbs or more of one variety at 12 rate; 25 or more at the 100 rate. 
We prepay Parcel Post or Freight charges on Holland bulbs.
