Will America’s Hillsides Ever 
Look Like This? 
This question will have to be answered soon! Three 
years from now Daffodils of all kinds may only be im¬ 
ported under special dealer's license and permit! The 
“bid” for the better kinds will be keen and the quanti¬ 
ties of the standard sorts may be inadequate. 
Come and Select Your Favorites This Month! 
Nearly 200 distinct and meritorious sorts (many 
very rare ones) will grace the woodland slope of our 
showgrounds at “Tulipdom.” We promise you many 
delightful surprises, for the newer Daffodils are revela¬ 
tions in graceful form and dainty color combinations. 
Write to us or phone to us (Oyster Bay 467-M) so that 
we may advise you when the daffodils will be at their 
best. If you cannot pay us a personal visit, please 
Let Our Catalogue Visit You! 
A free copy of one of the most concise and accurate 
bulb catalogues ever published will gladly be mailed to 
every reader of G. M. Please write TO-DAY—it’s 
none to early to think of your bulb order!

-Kemp’s Wonder Glads- 
And Distinctive Dahlias 
Bring distinguished refinement to the Garden, and joy to 
the heart of the owner. 
The flowers in your Garden are just as much a reflection on 
your taste and refinement as the garments you wear. No per¬ 
son of good taste and refinement would consider themselves well 
dressed in the styles of ten or fifteen years ago; particularly if 
they had been wearing the same suit or hat all those years. 
Neither can a Garden be considered up to date, if arrayed 
in floral garments that are ten or fifteen years old. 
My modern up to date Dahlias, and Gladioli are as far in ad¬ 
vance of the old mediocre varieties, as the modern styles of 
wearing apparel are in advance of those of a decade or longer 
ago. 
They will bring to your Garden a distinguished refinement in 
beauty, that will be a joy to you long after the price is for¬ 
gotten.
