QUALITY and PRICE 
of PLATT’S BULBS 
We believe in quality and we believe that the great ma¬ 
jority of our customers desire first quality bulbs. This was 
proven beyond a doubt in the Spring of 1938. Thousands of 
people visited plantings of our Tulip Bulbs. One hundred 
forty-seven varieties of Darwin, Breeder and Cottage 
Tulips were on show. Comments were noted and we here 
offer you the best liked varieties. We took colored pictures 
of them and would like to show you here each and every 
one, but good color printing is costly and even the best 
cannot do them justice. It is wise and prudent that you 
make your choice of varieties when they are in bloom. 
Next best are our floralite transparencies, hand colored, on 
exhibition in our store. If we went to the expense of show¬ 
ing each variety in color in our price list, we would be 
obliged to charge more for our bulbs.
