bulbs are grown in the most 
famous gardens of Holland.

cure Farr’s choice specimens at the price 
asked later in the season for ordinary 
quality.

orders received betore July 1st. 
These bulbs can only be had on indi¬ 
vidual orders placed early in the season; 
therefore it is of great importance to you 
that you make your reservation at once. 
To induce you to do this I make the 
special discount of 10 per cent before 
July 1 st. My Bulb Booklet is ready —
