PLANTING STOCK 
ATTENTION, PLEASE — After this catalog had gone to our printers, the invasion of the 
Netherlands and the possibility of no importations of bulbs from abroad, made it necessary to 
hold up our catalog until we could learn just how it would affect us here in the U. S. A. 
At this writing there seems to be very little likelihood of any bulbs getting across the 
Atlantic. This leaves bulb stocks here at home insufficient to supply the demand. This especially 
applies to crocus, hyacinths, tulips, scilla, and other small spring flowering bulbs. 
A scarcity always creates a demand, and when our supply is exhausted no more will be 
available. Orders will be filled as received, and be sure to give second choice to assist us in 
filling your orders promptly. 
Planting stock is rarely found listed in bulb catalogs as growers prefer to plant their 
offsets or slabs. In the course of a year or two these slabs grow into the round and double nose 
bulbs of commerce. A large percentage of these bloom the first season and all should bloom the 
second year. Anyone wishing to work into the cut flower trade or commercial bulb business 
would find it to his advantage to acquire stocks in this way. THIS OFFER EXPIRES AFTER 
THE 15th OF SEPTEMBER, when I begin my fall planting. In some cases stocks are limited, 
so it wouid be advisable to give second choice. No substitutions will be made unless requested. 
All prices quoted sent EXPRESS COLLECT. NOT LESS THAN 25 BULBS OF ONE VARIETY 
sold at these prices.
