aS upetion Quality 
Se bulb growing, where maximum result is the objective, requires the choice of truly superior bulbs. Quality is 
relative. We specialize in the discovery of sources, in the selection of the best varieties through these sources, and in the serv- 
ing of patrons where supreme quality is ever the watchword and ideal. Our reputation, responsibility and our patronage are 
the result of our long established organization and knowledge. 
Give your garden ideal the same chance that love suggests for your human children—a good start! The purchase of superior 
bulbs is an assurance toward this end; in this day of intelligent effort toward better gardens in general and an increased knowl- 
edge of how, where and what to plant, it naturally follows that little need be said of the beauty and satisfaction to be derived 
from planting, not merely bulbs, but the best bulbs. 
Schepers "Bulb ‘food 
for Tulips, Narcissi, Irises, Lilies, Gladioli, Montbretia, and all other bulbous plants. 
\ ‘ J © HAVE been asked by many friends to tell them what sort of plant food we use in growing our choice bulbs. We told 
them we had a special formula that gave health and long life to these plants. A few prevailed upon us to make up a quan- 
tity and let them try it in their own gardens. 
The extraordinary success that these gardeners met with and the enthusiasm resulting from it, have encouraged us to offer 
all our friends and patrons a chance to use the very same plant food in their attempt at getting healthy, luxuriant flowers with 
strong stems and exquisite colorings. 
And so we present this opportunity for you to order some SCHEEPERS’ BULB FOOD and we recommend that you try it 
with your next planting. It is almost entirely composed of organic matter and may be used with absolute safety in connection 
with the planting of bulbs at any time, in any soil or with any other plants. It is also economical—as a teaspoonful for each 
bulb is the average requirement. 
Take advantage of this offer. You will find it a very happy investment.
