Tulips and Their Treatment 
PICK OUT THE VARIETIES 
YOU LIKE REST 
It should be borne in mind that spring 
is the best time to place your order. With 
the different colors, heights and adapt¬ 
ability of the various varieties fresh in 
your memory you can order precisely 
what you require and plan where to 
plant the different varieties for the best 
jffect in your garden. It always pays to 
/isit our Nurseries several times during 
:he flowering season and to make your 
choice from plants blooming at the time 
>f your visits. 
SELECT YOUR CHOICE IN 
YOUR OWN GARDEN 
It is often impossible for our distant 
customers to visit us an'd they may not 
be sufficiently acquainted with the dif¬ 
ferent varieties to know what to order. 
To those we would recommend to order a 
quantity of our Special Tulip Mixture. 
This Mixture differs materially from the 
mixtures offered in other catalogs in this 
respect: As a rule mixtures are made up 
of inferior varities, which can be obtain¬ 
ed cheap and are usually a disappoint¬ 
ment. Our Special Tulip Mixture con¬ 
tains practically all the varities we 
grow, as it is composed of stray bulbs of 
our regular stock which are grown on to 
maturity. When next spring you have 
these bulbs in bloom in your garden, have 
us identify those flowers which strike 
your fancy an'd of which variety you want 
to order a quantity from our regular 
stock for the next season. In this man¬ 
ner you can pick out in your own garden 
what you like best, besides having a fine 
display' of beautiful flowers. 
We offer this Special Tulip Mixture at 
a very reasonable price. 
HOW FAR APART AND

W'hen you pay a visit to our Nurseries 
in the spring you will see how all our 
bulbs are planted in beds about two 
feet wide by twenty feet long. A bed 
of these dimensions contains approxi¬ 
mately three hundred tulips and gives you
