THE HORTICULTURAL BUILDING, EXHIBITION PARK, TORONTO 
This building houses the flower exhibits at the Canadian National Exhibition , 
held each year during the last week of August and the first week of September. 
Our firm will have a display in this building again this season. We will be pleased 
to meet you there and make your personal acquaintance. 
TO ALL OUR CUSTOMERS AND FRIENDS 
We have much pleasure in presenting to you this copy of our 1936 Fall Cata¬ 
logue, listing the most popular and also the latest and newest varieties, and we 
hope you will find it of interest. 
If you are planning to add more Bulbs to your garden, and to surprise your 
family or friends with flowers next spring, we hope you will favor us with your 
esteemed order, at an early date, so that prompt delivery can be made. 
We fully realize how difficult times are all over the world, and we are there¬ 
fore quoting our bulbs at exceptionally low prices considering that they are of the 
choicest quality, well ripened and hand-picked. 
Each year has seen a very substantial increase in our connections all over 
Canada and U.S., and last season, notwithstanding prevailing conditions, our 
volume of business reached a record figure. 
We are in constant contact with the Laboratorium of Flower Bulb Research 
(Prof. Dr. van Slogteren) to Lisse, and have based the cultivating, storing and 
shipping of our bulbs on the experiences of this world-known institute. This 
method of working together with our extensive trials and our own experience of 
exporting bulbs during 60 years, may account for the great number of satisfied 
customers, all over the world, who year after year obtain their bulbs, etc., from us. 
All orders are made up in Holland by our skillful staff, thus avoiding re¬ 
handling of the bulbs on this side, which might be harmful for the flowering 
results. Every bulb will be carefully selected for you, and is backed up by our 
guarantee to be top size, sound and true to name. Permit us to ask that you share 
this Catalogue with your friends, or we shall be pleased to send them a copy if 
you will let us have their names and addresses. 
Sincerely yours, 
THE HOLLAND BULB GARDENS
