CHOICE MICHIGAN GROWN BULBS 
O. 
A WORD ABOUT THE BULB SITUATION 
Owing Uo thc war conditions in Europe it now appears that the usual supply of imported Du 
available this season, hence the delay in issuing our price list. ' > 
However, we were fortunate in securing the entire output of the “Van Bragt Bros. Tulip Farm” of 
gan, famous for its Tulip Festival. 
d he quality of these bulbs is A-l in every respect and equally as good as the imported bulbs of the im* 
they were inspected at bloommg time and also during the harvesting season. We highly recommend this SKtOk. 
\\ e feel that under the circumstances it will pay you to send in your order at once as good bulbs are scarce and, 
although our supplies are ample, the demand will no doubt be heavy and stocks cannot be replenished.
