On account of our long experience in the growing of Freesia Hybrids, 
we are able to offer the finest bulbs obtainable. 
These bulbs are not only nice in appearance for retail purposes, but they 
are also thoroughly reliable for cutflower-growers. 
We shall be glad to send full cultural directions on demand.

Haarlem, 8 and 22 March 1937, twice a Gold Medal
