f 
from HOLLAND! 
Very unfortunate news reached us a few days 
ago from Europe! Because'of war, England, and 
other European nations forbade further importation 
of bulbs from Holland this year. 
The loss of these major markets prompted the 
Dutch Government to demand that all growers dc' 
stroy fifty per cent their stocks of Tulips and 
Hyacinths from which th©.,^sual 1940 supply is to 
come. Furthermore, all bulB^feft over from this 
season’s harvest were ordered destroyed, 
Prompt cable advices from our grower enabled 
us to make an advantageous purchase of a number- 
of the choicest varieties before this destructiori 
order was ofiicially given. 
These bulbs have now arrived and are in perfect 
condition; full top'size, and A'No. 1 in every re' 
spect. Just as good as our regular stock, and we 
guarantee them the same as we do our other bulbs. 
We have been advised of the likelihood of no 
Dutch Tulips to be exported to America next year. 
If, however, they are available in 1940, prices will 
be double what they are today. 
With the sincere belief based on present avail' 
able information that there may be no Dutch Tulip 
bulbs available next season, we suggest you take 
advantage of this opportunity to buy several hun' 
dred bulbs of the finest varieties at less than half 
their usual cost. 
You Must ACT Promptly 
Planting Time Is Here! 
We are pricing all these varieties at $3.50 per 
hundred bulbs, but do not sell them in smaller 
quantities than 50 bulbs of one kind at this price. 
They are top'size bulbs and of the same quality as 
our regular stock, and carry the same guarantee! 
When sending your order tell us if we may send 
you another variety if the one selected is sold out.
