The increasing sales and re-orders for our TULIP COLLECTIONS from year to year are convincing prool 
that our customers are well pleased with them, and we are confident that each new purchaser will be fully 
satisfied as well. , 
Each collection is made up from meritorious kinds only, and to give the greatest color range m the re- 
spective clciss. 
These collections are offered at far less than the price of the listed varieties. We are enabled to make 
these offers for the reason that we can equalize our stock to better advantage, and often include choice rare 
varieties that do not sell readily. This does not mean that we use undesirable kinds, as we do not stock 
any inferior varieties. . 
We want to emphasize the fact that only TOP SIZE bulbs are used, and also that these collections are 
real bargains.

THE TWELVE SUPERB TULIPS 
This collection is offered "by request." Several seasons ago 
a particular customer requested us to recommend a limited se¬ 
lection of outstanding, beautiful tulips, and to comprise as large 
a color range as possible. 
First consideration was given to color appeal, second to size 
and form, then to sturdiness and other qualities required in the 
ideal tulip. 
That our selections have proved satisfactory is indicated by 
re-orders from purchasers.
