Dajfodil Days at 66 Tulipdom 99 —Spring 1924 
There are Just 
Ten Days Left! 
Up to August i (sharp) we can accept 
“import orders” for Daffodils, Tulips, 
Hyacinths, and other Dutch bulbs. The 
next day you will have to be satisfied 
with bulbs we receive here at Oyster 
Bay, in bulk. 
Now, the principal points in favor of 
import orders are 
(1) the bulbs are bandied only 
once in Holland and that’s 
best for the bulbs. 
(2) the rarer sorts are seldom 
available in bulk, lienee we 
handle but few at Oyster 
Bay. 
So, please write right now for Cata¬ 
logue giving you all the facts plus figures 
about 
“Bulbs In a Class 
All Their Own ” 
Bulbs of the type and kinds that win for Zand- 
bergen customers the blue ribbons, year after 
year; bulbs that bloom true to 
name or your money back; bulbs, 
in short, that are sent out with 
the highest confidence in the 
world that they make us friends 
and permanent customers—if 
you are interested in such bulbs, 
send for the free catalogue TO¬ 
DAY.
