FALL PRICE LIST — September 1,1940 
Tulips -Regal Lilies - Gladiolus 
Our complete Gladiolus catalog will be out about October 15th. Some varieties are not grown in large quantities and hence 
suggest early orders. All stock quoted herein is subject to prior sale. 
TERMS: CASH with order or C.O.D. _ TULIPS _ Prepaid Delivery Charges (delivery free) 
Tulip prices are higher this season because of the small supply. No Holland tulips can be secured this season and all 
offerings of tulips will undoubtedly be sold out very early this season. Twenty-five bulbs of the same size and variety 
may be purchased at 100 rate. Should we be sold out of the large size when ordered we will ship a larger quantity of 
the No. 2 bulbs unless advised not to do so. 
PLANTING 
Plant in September, October, or any 
time before freezing winter weather. 
They give best results when fall- 
planted because they are early spring 
blooming. Tulips will thrive in any 
good soil. If fertilizer is used do 
not place touching the bulb. Below 
the bulb with an inch of soil on top 
is a good location for your fertilizer. 
Plant so that bulb is covered with 
four inches of soil. Tulips will do 
best where they have sunshine at 
least half of each day. 
SIZES 
The large size bulbs called No. 1 are 
from 11 y 2 to 13 cm. in circumfer¬ 
ence. 
Size 2 bulb are 10y 2 to 11 cm. in 
circumference. 
The No. 1 bulbs are used mostly for 
forcing under glass but for outdoor 
planting you will find the No. 2 bulbs 
giving excellent results. It is not 
likely that there will be any differ¬ 
ence in the length of the stem or the 
size of the flower from either No. 1 
or No. 2 bulbs grown out-of-doors. 
Both should make fine flowers. 
DARWIN TULIPS 
The tall, late varieties that are so 
much admired. Blooming in this 
latitude about April 20th, sometimes 
later. Not all Darwin tulips bloom 
at exactly the same time. There is a 
difference in varieties. 
COTTAGE TULIPS 
These are large, tall tulips, a little 
earlier than the Darwins. 
TRIUMPH TULIPS 
Triumphs are a cross between the 
Darwins and the earlier varieties 
and are not quite so tall as the Dar¬ 
wins, but have very large flowers and 
are a little earlier than Darwins. 
LILY-FLOWERING TULIPS 
Rather late as to blooming time, 
blooming when the Darwins do, but 
producing a lily-shaped flower that 
is very beautiful and attractive.

REGAL LILIES — The most popular of all American Lilies. 
The most popular of all American Lilies. Large, white and very fragrant. This lily is hardy in most climates including 
latitude of Illinois and states farther north. The greatest danger of frost is in the spring after they start growth and 
are up; then, sometimes, a freeze will injure them. This can be avoided by mulching the ground after it freezes in 
winter.’ This will delay the early spring growth. Plant smaller bulbs 4 inches deep and larger 6 inches.
