Fa all Lover of Flowers! 
A beautiful garden, like FREEDOM, is appreciated 
most when taken away. Now freedom has returned 
to Holland, and the bulbs that have been sadly lacking 
since the war began are again available to give fresh 
beauty to your next Spring’s garden. The garden 
which attains its climax of beauty in spring when the 
first warm sunrays gladden our hearts and cause new 
life to spring from the apparent dead earth, the new 
life all people’so greatly long for. 
Visualize, if you will, another drab winter suddenly 
broken by the earliest Heralds of Spring—Snowdrops 
and Winter Aconites—which appear even before the 
snow has disappeared, followed soon by Crocus, 
Daffodils, Hyacinths, and gradually Tulips and other 
bulb flowers follow in May with a burst of glory to 
celebrate their triumph of new life, beauty, and color. 
NOW IS THE TIME TO PLANT. Spring-flowering 
. bulbs must be planted in the Fall. By following simple 
instructions, the planting requires very little work. 
After planting the bulbs need no further attention to 
display their beauty in Spring. 
This season we supply again the genuine Holland 
bulbs direct from our own large farms in Holland.

FALL, 1946 
Genuine Holland bulbs are the best in the world, for 
reason that each bulb is planted by hand, dug by hand, 
and further treated by hand. No machines of any kind 
are used on the Holland bulb farms, all the work is 
done by hand, as it has been done in the past hundred 
years or more. 
For centuries the Hollanders have cultivated flower 
bulbs, and continually they have amazed the world by 
the new acquisitions of varieties, the possession of 
which is a delight to every flower-lover. 
The creation of these novelties has been made 
possible only by individual effort and individual love 
for the profession. The professional men in Holland 
never allowed themselves to rest during the hard 
years of war, and thus are now able to surpass all 
expectations of a flower-loving world. 
The best that the Holland bulb growers can produce 
in new as well as in old varieties is offered to you in 
this catalog. It is up to you to avail yourself of this

She Incomparable Narcissus “Deanna Durtin” 
As an old bulb grower and his wife were sitting in their home alone one 
evening listening to the radio, suddenly they heard the ‘‘Ave Maria.’’ Both 
sat silent, as the lovely voice interpreted this old song. Both felt deeply 
impressed by its beauty, ‘and then the old man said to his wife: ‘'I feel that 
| would like to name my new Narcissus for this singer, for surely the name 
of one who can so beautifully interpret the ‘‘Ave Maria’’ is worthy to 
represent the beauty and purity. of my new Narcissus.’’ Thus it happened 
that a Narcissus—the crowning achievement of the lifetime work of an old 
man was called ‘‘Deanna Durbin.’’ You will find the flowers illustrated 
on the preceding page. This flower is not only perfect in shape and pro- 
nounced in color, but it also excels in fine dark foliage and vigorous 
growth. Equally lovely and desirable for house and garden. Only a limited 
quantity of this novelty is cultivated, therefore we must limit sales to 
12 to a customer. 
“Deanna Durbin” 12 for $5.80, each $0.60. 3 for $1.60
