Dutch Bulbs 
and Plant 
Have you ever seen a real 
Dutrt Bulb catalog — a catalug, 
of Dutch Bulbs issued by the house that grew them? 
Do you understand the difference in sizes and quali¬ 
ties that exist in Dutch Bulbs — do you realize that your 
lack of success with these Harbingers of Spring may be 
due to the bulbs you plant, rather than to any fault of 
your own? 
All these points are explained in our 
1912 Catalog of Dutch Bulbs 
This catalog will appeal to all flower-lovers—to the man 
who buys ten tulips, hyacinths, or daffodils, and the man 
who buys ten thousand. 
It lists and describes the newest varieties; gives com¬ 
binations that have been proved satisfactory for bedding 
purposes, and for forcing. It suggests the varieties to 
plant in combination more accurately than would be pos¬ 
sible, if we did not maintain at our Sassenheim Nurseries 
unique testing beds for this very purpose. 
Now, while your Bulb beds are in bloom, 
is the time to get this book and make 
comparisons. Write today.
