ORDER EARLY 
IF POSSIBLE BEFORE AUGUST lsl 
• At our annual tulip shows we have on display most of the better varieties of tulips. And in making your selection at that 
time you can determine exactly what you desire as to color, height and the particular type you may admire, from the growing 
bulbs. 
• If not convenient to attend our tulip shows you can phone or write us for a representative who will be glad to call on you 
at any time. 
• In order to obtain the best selection, it is not advisable to order later than about August 1st, as that is the last time we 
notify our Holland branch what our requirements will be for the coming fall season, and only have shipped to us approxi¬ 
mately the number of higher priced bulbs we will need to take care of orders booked to that date. 
• We have on hand bulbs until about December 1st, but may be out of some particular variety which you might desire.

• When you receive your bulbs open the bags at once and keep them in a cool place until you are ready to plant. Bulbs 
may be planted any time before the ground freezes. Best results are usually obtained if planted between October 15th and 
December 1st. 
• Bulbs should be planted 5 to 6 inches deep. Spacing and arrangement is largely a matter of personal taste, but 5 or 6 
inches apart will be found most satisfactory (see diagram). The proper time to dig up and separate bulbs is in the spring, 
after foliage and stem has died. If bulbs are not dug up or flowers are not picked, the seedpods should be removed to insure 
future growth. 
• Bulbs have a tendency to exhaust soil rapidly, and if poor results are being obtained it may be necessary to renew your 
beds with new fresh fertile soil. 
• We guarantee all bulbs to be true to name. All bulbs we send out should grow and bloom, but we have no control over 
natural conditions. We therefore cannot assume responsibilty for customers' failure to succeed with them, either on account of 
unfavorable weather or soil conditions, improper planting, neglect, moles or mice. 
The following diagram shows the proper depth and distance apart which bulbs should be planted. 
Chart, showing number of bulbs needed for round beds of different size. Plant outside row first. Those planted 6 inches 
apart should be placed 3 inches from edge of bed, by 12 inches start at 6 inches from edge. For square beds about the same 
number of bulbs are required. In case of an oval bed add length and width and divide by two. For instance a bed 12 feet 
long and 6 feet wide will require the same number of bulbs as a round bed 9 feet in diameter.
