BOTANICAL TULIPS 
(Tulipa Species) 
Here we offer a galaxy of exquisite floral treasures to those fastidious gardeners 
who desire something choice and unusual. They are just the treasures to stimulate 
the keen enjoyment of gardening, so often surfeited with the commoner—but 
beautiful—bulbs offered and so universally grown. 
It is well nigh impossible to attempt to visualize or portray in words the beauty 
afforded by these gems. Tucked away, in generous quantities in the rock garden 
or border, they will be seen to advantage but are perhaps at their best in colonies 
on sloping hill or bedecking the borders of brook or waterside. 
They are easy to grow, hardy and give abundantly of their vivid blossoms un¬ 
der ordinary care. They increase in magnificence and number with each passing 
year. They are moderately priced so as to enable flower lovers to grow them in 
generous quantities.

DAFFODILS 
for Naturalizing 
There is no more enchanting picture in spring than a natural 
planting of Daffodils, so arranged in groups that the individuality 
of each species may be maintained. An irregular massing should 
be made where the grouping is dense in the center with a thinning 
out towards the edges like a summer cloud. 
We have made most satisfactory arrangements with an extensive 
grower of Narcissus in the northwestern area of the State of 
Washington, a section renowned for growing sturdy Daffodils, to 
supply us with a quantity of bulbs of certain varieties that are 
most adaptable for naturalizing purposes. 
Practically any soil has been found suitable but when planted 
under trees and in woodlands, the leaves of the trees should not 
be removed, as taking away this natural food will not only injure 
your trees but also will prevent the Daffodils from producing as 
they should. 
Plant 8 inches deep but avoid places where water may collect 
as they like drainage. 
Plant them before October 15th or shortly thereafter. Place 
your order early as the demand is increasing for these bulbs at 
this special low price. 
These bulbs are of large size and many of them double nosed. 
They may also be used in the garden border so that the following 
offer presents a good opportunity to Daffodil lovers to procure a 
fine collection at an extremely low cost.
