A Selfish Motive 
For Unselfish Advice 
U NLESS customers are treated squarely, a 
business house can not expect to hold them 
as such. Square treatment does not start when 
orders are filled! It starts with honest advice as 
to when and what to order. And we tell you 
frankly and freely that NOW is the time to place 
your order for Daffodils, Tulips, Hyacinths, and 
other bulbs if you want 
Bulbs of the Better T arieties 
in a Better Bulb Product 
Sometimes we have been “sold out” of rare and 
unusual sorts as far as a year ahead! Of course 
we can always fill orders for standard sorts clear 
up to planting time BUT—• 
This “order now” suggestion is chiefly intended 
for the connoisseur who knows what she wants 
or, lacking definite ideas, desires our help in de¬ 
veloping rather unusual bulb gardens. The start 
is made by writing for our free catalogue NOW! 
Also, please do not hesitate to ask us any ques¬ 
tions you like, concerning your bulb garden. 
That is the selfish motive behind advice offered 
above, because asking questions affords us the 
chance to tell you more about 
“Bulbs In a Class 
All Their Own ” 
Iiulhs that are packed to your order in 
Holland, and are handled just once. 
Bulbs that win the prizes year after year 
under ever keener growing competition! 
Bulbs of exceptional size and blooming 
qualities guaranteed true to name and 
color 
Such are your advantages in 
buying the bulbs offered through 
our modest free catalogue de¬ 
scribed by experts as “the most 
authentic bulb catalogue pub¬ 
lished.” Please write for it TO¬ 
DAY—a postcard will do—-and

Spring days and visit our Peony beds at their best. \ ou will 
revel in the range of color and the variety of form. \ ou can 
select Peonies that combine delicate fragrance with beauty of 
bloom. You can add rare specimens to your present collection

For more than a score of years, 1 have worked among the 
Peonies, collecting, selecting, and rejecting until my collection 
challenges the admiration of experts. And my prices are “As 
Low as Consistent with Highest Quality.” 
Come in late May or early June. Or if this is impossible

“Some Single Peonies, 
like great wild roses 
with hearts of gold 
should certainly be in¬ 
cluded in your collec¬ 
tion.” Prof. A. P.

c Burlapped c Beauty 
T HE only satisfactory method for establishing the beautiful 
woodland favorites around the home is shown below. This 
product of my nursery is a 
typical plant of Rhododendron 
catawbiense compacta, with 
well-developed root system, 
properly burlapped for long¬ 
distance shipment. This is 
the fashion in which I handle

It’s not too early to make 
fall planting plans. Right 
after blooming time, through¬ 
out July and August, is an 
ideal time for transplanting 
this type of nursery stock. 
Ferns, too, and a multitude 
of woodland favorites may 
be planted any time now-
