HOLLAND BULBS 
ROSES and SPECIALTIES 
FOR FALL PLANTING 
W E beg to say that our stock of Bulbous Flower Roots has been purchased from the most reliable growers, 
and may be relied upon, both as to quality and correctness. Instead of offering a long list of vari¬ 
eties, many of which are of little value, we give a selection of the very best in the various classes. 
The season for filling orders opens about the first of September. Parties ordering early are more likely 
to get what they want than if they wait till the stock of some articles becomes exhausted. Parties unac¬ 
quainted with the various kinds of bulbs will do well to leave the selection to us. Such orders will receive 
our best attention. 
Assortments of bulbs will be carefully packed and sent by mail free of postage, at the single prices named 
in this catalogue. When ordered by the ten and hundred, they will be sent by express, at the pur¬ 
chaser’s expense, unless otherwise specially agreed. 
PAEONIES AND PHLOXES. 
The recently introduced varieties in both of these families show great advance. The Pasony is the best sub¬ 
stitute for the Rhododendron, which can only be grown in favored localities, and it is admirably adapted to 
general cultivation. For effective beds, masses and groups, there is not another plant souseful. Of vigorous 
habit, fine foliage, and magnificent, large, showy flowers, the Paeony can justly command admiration from all. 
It flourishes best in rich soil, but thrives under ordinary culture, frequently even when neglected. It is a plant 
for the million, and deserves a place in every garden, large or small. 
The Phlox, too, merits more attention than it has hitherto received. The newer sorts are especially to be 
commended. 
HARDY ROSES. 
We prefer fall planting for all hardy roses, if the situation be not too much exposed where the roses are 
to be set out. Our collections comprise the best kinds. 
ADVICE TO CORRESPONDENTS. 
Please Read Before Making Out Order. 
Correspondents will oblige by observing as far as possible the following regulations: 
1. All orders should be legibly written out. 
2. When particular varieties are ordered it should be stated w T hether, and to what extent, other varieties 
may be substituted, in case the order cannot be filled to the letter, as happens occasionally in all establish¬ 
ments. Our rule is not to substitute in any case, without being expressly requested to do so. 
3. It is requested that post-office address, as well as explicit directions for marking and shipping packages, 
accompany Each Order. All articles are at the risk of the purchaser after being shipped, and if delay or loss 
occurs, the forwarders alone must be held responsible. 
4. All orders from unknown correspondents must be accompanied with a draft on some of the principal 
cities, or money order for the amount. If neither can be had, enclose currency in a registered letter. 
5. Our customers are requested to notify us instantly of any errors that may be committed in filling their 
orders, in order that we may at once make ample amends, as we desire to conduct our business in all respects 
satisfactory to those who favor us with their confidence.
