Looking Ahead — 
A Reminder, A Warning, An Invitation 
D AFFODIL time is here, and besides 
bringing gentle Easter greetings, 
they, this year, nod a reminder and a 
warning. The present flowers remind us 
that but two short years intervene before 
further importation of Bulbs is imposi- 
ble. The latest reports from Holland 
sound a warning. On account of last 
fall’s discouraging weather, the crop of 
quality bulbs will be very short. 
There is no question but that all good 
Daffodils will be sold out long before the 
end of the season. Spring Glory, King 
Alfred, Treserve, Golden Spur, and many 
other desirable varieties will be very 
scarce, because of exceptionally heavy 
sales last fall. All that has been said 
applies particularly to heavy, double 
nosed quality bulbs, bulbs of the Zand- 
bergen quality. 
Bulbs In a Class 
All Their Oivn 
The first part of the invitation is to come to see the 
Daffodils blooming at the hillside of Tulipdom. Above 
we illustrate a typical clump of the kind you will find 
scattered over a hillside by the hundreds. Nearly 200 
distinctly meritorious and worth-while varieties await 
your inspection during the later part of this month. 
The second part of the invitation is 
our earnest request that you write 
soon for our catalogue, designed to in¬ 
troduce to you the choicest Holland 
product in Daffodils, Tulips, Hya¬ 
cinths, and all those other messengers 
of spring that combine to turn rather 
backward and dreary spring days 
into a source of genuine delights.

to distinguish them from 
the older field-grown 
clumps, although they are 
husky youngsters two to 
three months old. Given reasonable care, every 
plant will develop a big head of flowers this sum¬ 
mer, although the plants will not reach their normal 
height. 
This collection of a dozen plants of joyous summer color 
contains two each of the following six choice varieties: 
Elizabeth Campbell, clear salmon pink. 
Europea, white with crimson carmine eye. 
B. Compte, dark amaranth red. 
Siebold, bright orange scarlet, crimson eye. 
Miss Lingard, early white with delicate lavender eye. 
/{. /'. Struthers, rose carmine with red eye.

plants guaranteed to reach you in good condition, for $1.50 
postpaid. Four collections for $5.00, sent to different addresses 
if desired.

20th, I will include extra, one plant of the new Phlox Rosalind,
