P RIMARILY our business is the forcing of Tulips, Daffo¬ 
dils and Miscellaneous bulbs for the cut-flower markets of 
the large Eastern Cities. Each winter hundreds of 
thousands of these flowers are sent from Corfu to florists 
in New York, Baltimore, Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland, 
Pittsburgh, Buffalo and Rochester. 
As the bulbs from which these flowers are produced 
(with the exception of Daffodils) are imported from 
Holland each fall, it is natural that over these many years, 
we should have learned the sources from which the best 
bulbs are procurable; not only the districts in Holland in 
which the best bulbs are produced, but the actual growers 
who have the most suitable bulb lands, the finest facilities 
for the storage and curing of the bulbs, and finally, those 
who are the most trustworthy. 
A few years ago some of our friends, knowing of our 
large importation of bulbs, asked us to include some for 
them. We did—and each year since, more and more of 
our friends have made the same request, and so a business 
developed. Now as orders come from hundreds of people 
with whom we are not personally acquainted, we like to 
feel that they are all friends asking us to procure for them 
some of the choice bulbs which we import for our own 
purposes, and we in turn have a personal interest in seeing 
that they get them. 
Because we list and display in our grounds the new and 
expensive varieties as soon as the Holland growers are 
willing to send us a few bulbs, a casual glance at the prices 
in our list may give the impression that our bulbs in 
general are high priced. This is not so. All the good 
standard varieties of Tulips are listed and these are very 
reasonable. The new varieties remain higher in price until 
a plentiful supply of the bulbs becomes available. 
We would like you to keep in mind that while we en¬ 
deavor to keep our prices as low as possible, price is not our 
first consideration. We want you to have the same results 
as we have, and to that end, furnish you bulbs which pro¬ 
duce these results.
