A Word About Tulips — 
The issue of our annual fall catalog has been de¬ 
layed owing to the uncertainty of arrival of Dutch 
Bulbs from abroad. At this time it seems unlikely 
that any bulbs will arrive from the Netherlands. 
Although we grow many thousands of fine quality 
bulbs in more than 200 varieties right here in Benton 
Harbor, the demand has so far exceeded the supply 
that we are practically sold out on the leading 
varieties in top-sized bulbs. 
In view of the limited quantity available, we offer 
our Tulips in special collections and mixtures only.
