A Nessage 
In the third year since the cessation of hos- 
tlities, it is reasonable to expect that the Hol- 
land bulb situation has returned to normal. 
Unfortunately, on account of unusual weather 
conditions, this is not the case, and there will 
be a genuine scarcity of fine bulbs again 
this year. 
The coldest winter in over 200 years took 
a severe toll of many normally hardy varie- 
ties, and followed immediately by an unpre- 
cedented heat wave which forced the bulbs 
into early maturity, has created a situation 
that will make an anticipated easy season a 
difficult one. 
We approach this bulb season with few 
qualms, however, for we have prepared for 
New Novelty Tulips for 1947 
Each year we present brand new va- 
rieties that have been tested In our own
