The Fifth Banner Year for 
AMERICAN and ENGLISH GROWN 
RSE 

2 BCILIBS: 
We had fondly hoped that we could assure our clientele that Dutch Tulips would be available to supple- 
ment the established American grown bulbs. This may have been possible, and can still be possible if the 
inevitable Nazi collapse and capitulation occurs before October Ist. 
Even then, the supply of Dutch Tulips would be problematical. No one knows definitely the position of 
the Holland bulb growers. It may be years before Tulips and other bulbs will again be available from Hol- 


land. Then again we may be pleasantly sur- 
prised. 
The main thing right now is that we have 
splendid American grown bulbs, maybe not 
enough to meet the demand, but reasonably 
priced especially in this ADVANCE BULB 
FOLDER. Prices listed here are good until SEP- 
TEMBER 15TH only, and they represent a saving 
of 15% below our regular Fall Bulb Catalog 
prices. 
To assure full delivery at a definite saving, 
we suggest placing your order without delay.
