BULBS FOR FALL PLANTING 
I N spite of the difficulties confronting the importer and dealer in 
Dutch Bulbs, I am able to present this year my usual complete 
assortment of Hyacinths, Tulips, Narcissi, and Crocuses. While I 
have contracted for enough bulbs to fill the orders of my regular 
customers, it must be understood that these bulbs are not carried in 
stock, and that my importations are regulated by advance orders 
received from my customers before July 15. Prices in this cata¬ 
logue are based upon current quotations, at which I have placed my 
orders with the bulb-growers. It is quite possible that any further 
supply can only be obtained at higher rates. You can realize from the 
above how important it is to both of us that your order should come 
to me by July 15. 
In accordance with my established custom, I will allow a special 
discount of 10 per cent on all orders for Narcissi, Tulips, Hyacinths 
and Lilies received before July 10. After that date no discount 
will be given. 
Terms are cash, unless other arrangements have been made. 
Orders from unknown correspondents, without satisfactory commer¬ 
cial rating, should be accompanied by a remittance to cover the order, 
or by bank reference. Please remit by Post Office or Express Money 
Order, Registered Letter or Bank Draft. 
WYOMISSING IRISES 
are known to many, and to some of you their cultivation has become 
a most interesting and diverting hobby. Their periods of bloom have 
repaid you for all your pains, I am sure. Do not forget that the best 
time to plant them is August, for just then they pause before resuming 
a new period of growth. 
The soil, for most varieties, should be well drained, but they will 
grow where other things would fail for lack of moisture. Some varie¬ 
ties do better near water or in particularly moist soil. A good, sunny 
situation is very desirable. In my collection of several hundred varie¬ 
ties, there are Irises adaptable to soils of almost any kind, with many 
sorts not obtainable elsewhere.
