special Offers of Tulip Collections 
T he bulb collections that we have supplied 
to our customers for many years have given 
the greatest satisfaction, judging from the in¬ 
creased number of orders and re-orders each 
successive season. Our TULIP BULB COL¬ 
LECTIONS have become especially famous for 
the fine variety of flowers they produce. We 
again offer a very choice selection of the very 
finest bulbs. 
To those who have not had the experience 
and pleasure derived from growing these won¬ 
derful flowers, we can say that little effort is 
required to have and enjoy a bright spot in the 
garden, long before other garden flowers bloom. 
In the border against the new foliage of shrub¬ 
bery they make a most pleasing picture. 
DARWIN TULIP COLLECTIONS 
We offer these first because we have found 
that they are the most popular with our cus¬ 
tomers. While the cost of bulbs imported from 
Holland has gone up because of the great differ¬ 
ence in value of the U, S. dollar and the Dutch 
money, we are able to keep prices at a minimum 
because of very large purchases.

These collections are offered at much less than 
the price of the listed varieties. We are enabled 
to make these offers for the reason that we can 
equalize our stocks to better advantage, and 
often include the choice high priced varieties 
that do not sell as readily. No undesirable kinds 
are used as we do not stock or have any in¬ 
ferior varieties. 
Each collection is made up of varieties that 
will give the greatest range of color and display 
and, we feel confident, will please the most 
exacting. 
We want to emphasize the facts that only 
TOP SIZE bulbs are used, and also that the 
collections are real bargains.
