TULIPS 
These important colorful spring flowering bulbs are 
this year a great prcblem. Last year our main source 
of supply was Great Britain. Since the present World 
War started the flower loving British people have been 
banned from buying bulbs but this year the ban was 
lifted and as a result few are available for export, 
and owing to war necessities merchant vessels have 
for several months unloaded war cargoes in Great 
Britain and bassalted with sand, refusing all cargoes 
ordered and desired here in order to facilitate the 
return cargoes for more war goods. Cultures in 
America are rather light and weather and lack of labor 
have both been adverse factors, as a result tulips 
available are rather few in numbers and variety and 
at present there are no certainties of what varieties 
will be available. We are listing such varieties as we 
hope to have and we cannot guarantee to supply more 
than a small number of most of these. 
Prices have advanced very much and after the war 
ends it seems rather doubtful if we will see any great 
decline in prices as stocks in the Netherlands are also 
greatly depleted. We are oniy quoting dozen prices 
of tulips but can supply several varieties in 100 lots.
