McDONNELL’S IMPORTED 
HOLLAND TULIPS 
For the first time in five years California gardeners will have an ample supply 
of tulip bulbs to add the final touch of spring glory to their gardens. Strive as 
| they did, the domestic tulip growers could not keep pace with the demand for 
j bulbs during the war years. A limited quantity of Holland tulips were shipped 
to America last fall but this year we can plant tulips to our heart’s content. 
X During the war years, the Hollanders discarded numerous old and mediocre 
varieties; increased the supply of the finer, newer kinds. You will see the best 
of these in our list.
