OR generations, tulips have been associated with Holland and Holland with 
tulips and rightly so, for nowhere else in all the world do tulips produce such high- 
quality bulbs. This is also true of hyacinths, daffodils, crocus and the many other 
lovely flowers offered in this catalog. . 
Our testing and experimental grounds at Fordhook Farms were ablaze with 
color this spring. We not only had plantings of all the varieties of bulbs we cataloged 
- last year, but hundreds of others from which to select the very best and most dis- 
tinctly different kinds for you to enjoy in your gardens and homes. 
This little book offers a wide and select assortment of recently introduced 
varieties, as well as the cream of the older favorites. Each has real merit and is 
adaptable for growing under American conditions. Quality is of the highest. Satisfac- 
tion is guaranteed under our Money Back Guarantee. All are easy to grow if you 
follow the simple directions printed on the bags containing the bulbs. 
Early fall is a good time to sow lawn grass, perennial flower, pansy, English 
daisy and forget-me-not seeds. It is also a desirable time to plant asparagus, horse- 
radish and rhubarb roots. We have included these items and solicit your orders for 
them and the bulbs you wish to plant this autumn. All orders will be appreciated 
-and will receive our best attention. 7
