Bulbs for Christmas Presents 
Bulbs are a solution to your Christmas shopping problem. Do you remember the 
difficulties recently? The crowds, the insufficient stocks, the makeshift products, 
plastics that should have been steel, etc.? 
Probably at least 50% of the presents bought are not what the recipient would 
have liked. But most people like bulbs for their house and garden. 
Our bulbs are all pre-war workmanship, perfect in design and material. Prices 
are not inflationary. 
You don’t have to stand in line or struggle with a crowd to get waited on. You 
sit down in a comfortable chair in your own home, make out your list and enclose 
your check. The postman delivers them. Simple and easy. 
Why not order a dozen Amaryllis bulbs, Select Strains, one bulb for each of a dozen 
friends? Potted they will be worth $1.50 ea. or more. Or give the dry bulbs. 
Even the inexpensive Oxalis make wonderful little presents, especially if you pot 
them and get them started. 
For birthday, Christmas or any day you wish to remember your friends with a 
present, nothing is more suitable than a bulb or bulbs.
