Just a brief note ... and a suggestion. 
This will be a hectic year in the bulb business. 
There’s a shortage, of course. No Dutch imports. Fewer from 
English growers. And only a handful of American bulb farmers 
produce top-quality, top-size bulbs. 
So there'll be great confusion, and perhaps a good deal of 
misleading advertising. Many firms will avoid any mention of size. 
Others will employ vague and indefinite terms. Yet, as you know, 
size is everything in a bulb. Means more certainty of bloom, a 
sturdier plant, a much larger flower. 
We are concentrating on the largest sizes now available. Oui 
prices, in general, will be the same for these top-sizes as will be 
asked by others for the next size smaller. 
This, please remember, for the very best kinds of imported and 
domestic bulbs. The reason we can offer these fine healthy larger- 
size bulbs so inexpensively is simple: our method ‘of operation 
eliminates a great many overhead costs. 
Some of the bulbs listed here should be planted at once. But 
even those which need not be planted until September or later 
should be ordered now: the supply of very good bulbs is limited, 
and later prices are almost certain to be higher. 
P.S.—Our complete Autumn List of evergreens, trees and shrubs 
will be mailed about September Ist. 
So order now.
