Hyacinths, 
Tulips, Narcissi, 
Crocus, give, for 
small outlay of 
time and money, an abundance of 
flowers in the house from December until 
Easter, and in the garden from earliest spring 
until the middle of May. Bulbs are grown 
almost exclusively in Holland, in enormous 
quantities, and sold at very low prices. Usu¬ 
ally they cost double before reaching you. 
By ordering from us now instead of wait¬ 
ing until Fall, you make a large saving, get 
a superior quality of Bulbs not usually to 
be obtained at any price in this country, and 
have a much larger list of varieties to select 
from. 
Our orders are selected and packed in Hol¬ 
land, and are shipped to our customers imme¬ 
diately upon their arrival, in the best possible 
condition. 
DARWIN TULIPS—We can now supply 
the magnificent and high-priced Darwin 
Tulips at a great reduction. They are sen¬ 
sational in their beauty and should be in- I 
eluded in every garden. They last for many 
years. 
If you wish to take advantage of our very 
low prices, we must have your order 
not later than June 1st, as we import 
Bulbs to order only. They need not be paid 
for until after delivery, nor taken if not satis¬ 
factory. (References required from new cus¬ 
tomers. )
