Larger and Finer This Year Than Ever Before. 
84.00 or SS.OO Worth of the Choicest Bulbs for Only SI.00. 
We are obliged to grow and import enormous stocks of all kinds of Bulbs, generally more than is necessary, to make 
sure of having enough. It is our custom, after the heavy fall business is about over, in November, to take this surplus stock 
of various good things, make it into “Surprise” Collections, and offer same to our customers, giving them four or five times 
the value of their money. In fact, the “surprise” is the great amount of fine Bulbs one gets for the money paid. . These 
collections cannot be sent out until about the tenth of November, and will be entirely of our own selection, from kinds of 
which we have a surplus. No collection will be made up for less than one dollar, and from that up to any amount the Pur¬ 
chaser may desire. They will be sent free, by mail, unless desired by express, and in that case we can send very-much 
more for the money than by mail. All “Surprise” Collections ordered previous to Nov. 10th will be be booked and shipped 
then, but we continue sending them up to the end of December. We advise our friends to invest a dollar or more m this 
collection. We can guarantee that they will be greatly pleased.
