The supply of imported bulbs will be quite limited. Much acreage had been devoted to food production, 
and the remaining acreage has had to produce bulbs for export and huge plant- 
ing stocks. It will be wise to place your order without delay as we frankly believe

Not all Dutch-grown bulbs are necessarily perfect because they are imported 
from the Netherlands. These bulbs are also graded and selected for different 
qualities, among which there are many poor grades. We handle top quality im- 
ported bulbs only, that have been grown and collected for us by the finest special- 
ists in Holland. Remember, that the name of Max Schling has been synonymous 
with bulb quality for more than a quarter century.
