O NE of the immediate effects of this terrible 
war upon horticulture has been the de¬ 
moralization of the bulb industry in Holland 
and the flooding of the American markets 
with carloads of bulbs of questionable merit. 
Having our own experienced men on the ground in Holland, we 
are in the fortunate position to offer you an opportunity to procure 
a small quantity of really highest grade bulbs, all guaranteed 
4 true to names and colors, in exhibition sizes (what we call in 
Holland “toproots”), at unusally reasonable and fair prices. 
Cut out this advertisement, pin one or more dollar bills to it, 
mark the collection desired, and we shall at once make delivery 
to you or for you to your friends. 
If not satisfied upon receipt of bulbs, return them and we will 
gladly refund whatever money sent.
