Tulip bulbs for the coming season art going to be definitely more scarce than at any time during the 
previous “scarce” years. The springlof 1943 was, as far as Tulip growing is concerned, the worst 
experienced by us during any year We have been engaged in the growing of domestic Tulip bulbs 





Early in the season every indication jointed to the prospect of a bumper crop. However, the 
month of May had 29 rainy days, and June was even less favorable. As a result, some Michigan 
growers have been nearly wiped out) through flooded fields. Our crop, due to these unfavorable 
-onditions, is decidedly smaller than|}we had anticipated, and the size of the bulbs is slightly 


smaller than in past years It is, therefore, our earnest wish to notify you to Place your order as 





soon a possible, and give us a second choice when making your selection 
REGARDING 
DEEP PLANTING 






With each shipment will be included deep planting instruc 
tlons first suggested by the Nelis Nurseries during the 1942 
t planting season, giving not only our own experience, but also 
the experience of many of our correspondents, who_ have 

written us. It is, and always has been, our aim to supply you 



with the latest information and suggestions to make your bulb 


give you the most for your money! It is our hope that you will 
] 


at least try planting some of your bulbs this new way, and report 


on your results later, so we can pass the information on to other
