There are wonderful results to be secured both in garden effects 
and for household cut flowers with Gladioli, Cannas, Dahlias, 
Montbretias, etc., and at such a small outlay of time and money! 
Just try an assortment of our imported-to-order bulbs this year. 
By planting in proper combinations and intervals you can have 
an abundance of beautiful flowers steadily from spring till frost, 
and with practically no trouble at all. 
Our Plan Saves You Half 
This is our plan. You tell us what bulbs you wish. We order 
them for you directly from the growers in Holland, where the best 
bulbs come from. Long experience and frequent visits to Holland 
and personal acquaintance with the growers enable us to buy each 
kind from the best specialist in that variety, 
and as your bulbs are packed by the grower 
and then forwarded to you as soon as they 
reach this country, you get much better 
bulbs and at much less than they would 
cost you if passed through the usual mid¬ 
dlemen. Thousands of customers buy their 
bulbs through us every year and they can 
tell you. You need not pay for your bulbs 
until after delivery', nor take them if not 
satisfactory. (References required from new 
customers.) But remember— 
You Must Order Now— 
Not Later Than March 1st 
Our prices and the quality of bulbs se¬ 
cured depend upon buying direct from the 
growers for April and May delivery. These 
are just a few of the prices our plan se¬ 
cures you:
