TO OUR CUSTOMER 
At the time of preparing this catalog for the printer the 
struggle of operating a bulb farm in near-war times was be¬ 
ginning to tell on us. The difficulty of obtaining competent 
help was adding to the burden—in a few days another im¬ 
portant member of our force would be leaving for the army. 
Obtaining new equipment for bulb handling was presenting 
unexpected problems every day. As this feeling of wonder 
whether the efforts were worth while was becoming very 
strong there arrived a letter from a customer in Austin, Texas, 
who wrote us as follows: 
“I wish you could have seen our gardens this spring when 
we opened them for Bundles for Britain. Received $750.00 in 
free will offerings in three hours time! The tulips were gor¬ 
geous and blooming as they did along with azaleas, camellias, 
callas, early daisies, iris, daffodils, etc., besides the dogwood 
and tree wisterias it made a sight that stopped traffic. I want 
to thank you for your part in all this for frankly I did not 
expect much from American grown tulips, but what a pleas¬ 
ant surprise I did have! Thank you, too, for the extra bulbs 
you sent and for the King Alfreds—they had three and four 
blooms on each one.” That changed the picture decidedly. We 
realized again how necessary gardens and flowers are in this 
world of ours. And how much more important the peace and 
quietude that they bring becomes as the strain on mind and 
nerves increases as it will in the trying times ahead of us. 
Now the bulbs are beginning to roll into the bulb house. 
How fine they look! Crocuses to brighten the very first days 
of next spring and plump brown tulips bulbs that are already 
beginning to form the embryonic buds for next season's bloom. 
As we handle these bulbs we wonder whose beautiful garden 
may be made more lovely by the blossoms they produce. 
We feel very fortunate in being able to offer the complete 
list of tulips which we have this year. Some varieties have 
had to be removed from the catalog because of too heavy sales 
last year, but the stocks of many kinds are larger and the 
bulbs better than last year. Our supply of large healthy daf¬ 
fodil bulbs should be quite ample for the needs of our cus¬ 
tomers although a few varieties are decidedly scarce. Prices 
are much the same as last year with a slight general increase 
to take care of increased costs of production. 
Since the supply of some items is rather small and the de¬ 
mand is away above normal we hope that you will send us 
your orders just as soon as you can. We will appreciate it a 
lot if you will indicate an additional variety or two that we 
may use if a certain kind is all sold out. 
We sincerely hope that your garden next spring will be the 
best you have ever had and bring to you a world of pleasure 
and satisfaction. May our country ever be strong and great 
that these simple privileges can never be denied to all of us 
as they have been to countless millions in Europe.

Assorted Narcissi - Daffodils 
For Naturalizing and for Cut-Flowers 
This is a really splendid collection of all the different 
types of daffodils and narcissi. It shows the wonderful 
diversity of form, size, color and fragrance to be found 
in this splendid flower. We have sold thousands of 
these collections and have had a great many compli¬ 
ments from pleased customers. The mixture is hand 
made from our named varieties and ranges from the 
large daffodils like King Alfred and Spring Glory 
through the different sorts of medium cups to the 
cluster flowered Poetaz and true Poet’s narcissi. Each 
package contains at least twenty different varieties. 
The double-nose bulbs will produce at least two flowers 
the first year. The large round bulbs will usually have 
only one flower the first year but are better for natural¬ 
izing as they may be left in the ground one year longer 
without being dug and divided. 
Large double-nose bulbs, 20 for $1.00, 100 for $4.50, 
1000 for $40.00. 
Large round bulbs, 25 for $1.00, 100 for $3.75, 
1000 for $32.50.
