The Third Banner Year For 
AMERICAN GROWN BULBS 
Our offerings of American grown Tulips have met with such enthusiastic re- 
sponse from our clientele that we can now offer splendid stocks and many varie- 
se of strong, early and long flowering Tulip bulbs grown in Washington and 
regon. 
English grown Tulips have also proven themselves and many accomplished gar- 
deners have grown these allies with the greatest success that they have had in 
many years of gardening enjoyment. There is nothing to take the place of spring 
flowering bulbs. Their presence is required for ‘‘morale on the home front’ for 
the reason that their beauty has been intertwined with the American tradition since 
the founding of our country. For spring garden enchantment at low cost orders 
should be placed without delay. ; 
For your co-operation in placing early orders, a discount of 5 per cent from our 
prices appearing in this list will be allowed for orders placed before September
