"SOMETHING DIFFERENT" 
flowering seeds or bulbs offer a most pleasing 
departure from the ordinary type of Christmas 
presents, and when sent out under the Salbach 
name, they offer a most aristocratic distinction 
that can be had for little expense. 
Then, too, nothing could be 
more convenient, for, if you 
wish, we will mail the bulbs or 
seeds for you, sending them direct 
to the addresses you supply. 
You may choose your gifts 
from any offering in this catalog. 
We will absorb the extra cost of 
Christmas packing, or will fur¬ 
nish Gift Orders for bulbs not 
deliverable until spring.
