BULBS FOR AUTUMN 
We have concentrated on the few best 
kinds of each class now in quantity pro- 
duction. About 90% of the total differ- 
ent effects of a thousand confusing names 
are covered. The result is easy, intelligent 
selection by you and—lower prices, for 
top size bulbs. 
The bulbs offered are specially se- 
lected for you in Holland. No finer 
quality exists—no finer varieties—any- 
where at any price. 
Bulb prices depend on how the crop 
happens to grow in any given year.

PLANTING 
Some fine varieties grow well one year 
(low price) and poorly another (high 
price). 
It is our service to our customers to 
watch these variations and to give you 
each year the greatest value for your 
money. We ask that if possible you order 
three weeks in advance of your desired 
planting date—in fact, it is best to order 
at once on receipt of this catalog. Some 
kinds will be short.

BULBS FOR NATURALIZING 
It is not generally realized how many kinds of bulbs may be permanently planted, 
giving a yearly show of bloom. There are two kinds of bulbs—those which last 
5 to 7 years (like tulips), and those which are permanent, sending up a flower 
every season from the same bulb for a lifetime (Narcissus, Scilla, Muscari, Crocus, 
Hyacinths). 
Naturalizing Narcissus 
Narcissus are the showiest of the really satisfactory natural- 
izing bulbs. It might be said that the best place to plant these 
is not in the garden at all—but scattered among shrubbery, 
under fences and wherever a drift of April show is desired. 
Not all kinds do equally well when naturalized, and we have 
selected a special assortment for this purpose which we list 
below: 
Dig the planting area well with fertilizer and humus. Then 
plant the bulbs each on a sand cushion.
