The Cha rrn of Flowers 
in a Home 
I ou have felt it—when you have come in from a gray disagree¬ 
able day, which made you feel that winter would never end, to 
the rose glow of tulips and the spring fragrance of the narcissus.

ANY house, every house, is more livable for flowers. You want 
i\t^ em m your own house, and you look longingly in the 
Horists windows in the winter time, wondering whether you 
can afford those yellow narcissi, which would brighten the dark 
library, or the pink and blue hyacinths for the dining room. But 
you often feel that you cannot pay several dollars a dozen for 
flowers that will last only a few days. 
Grow Your Own Flowers Easily and Inexpensively 
You can afford flowers in your house* from Christmas until Easter 
it you buy your bulbs from us and grow them yourself. The best 
bulbs ot Paper-White Narcissi, among the loveliest flowers for the 
house, sell for only $3.50 per hundred, and one bulb often pro¬ 
duces two flowers. ^ Last winter these flowers sold for $2.00 a 
dozen in the florists shops. You can grow flowers for a few cents 
each for which you would otherwise pay 15 to 20 cents, and your 
own flowers last from 10 to 12 days. 
There Are No Bulbs Like Those From Holland 
For hundreds of years Holland has been growing the finest bulbs 
in the world-the loveliest colors and the widest variety. 
No one has been able to equal them. There are thousands or 
growers of bulbs in Holland, but the best flowers come from bulbs 
if 
grown by specialists, who have spent all their time perfecting 
certain varieties. Because of our long experience and our many 
visits there we are able to obtain for our customers from these 
specialists the finest quality of the finest varieties-even now when 
the war has greatly reduced the output of bulbs. 
Even the most inexperienced gardener need not hesitate to try 
growing our bulbs. By carefully following the directions suc¬ 
cessful results are always obtained. Planting the bulbs and watch¬ 
ing them grow is a fascinating occupation for flower lovers of all 
degrees of experience. Hundreds of customers have written us tell¬ 
ing us how successful they have been through following this meth¬ 
od: Simply plant your bulbs in shallow boxes in soil from your gar¬ 
den or from a florist’s shop if you live in a city. Keep them 
in a cool dark place and water occasionally until they are well 
rooted. Then bring them out to the light at intervals of ten days 
so that you may have a succession of flowers. When the buds are 
almost ready to open you may transplant them to jardinieres, fern 
dishes, or bowls if you wish. 
Our booklet contains complete 
instructions which will make 
failure practically impossible.
