New Culips 
Poems have been written about the Tulip—songs have been written about it. Writers and 
floral experts have tried to describe its matchless beauty. 
One writer said: “In line, form and beauty of coloring, no other flower is the equal of the 
Tulip.” Another said: “The Tulip is eternally formal and dignified; no other flower can 
equal it in stateliness.” Still another said: “The beauty of the Tulip does not diminish with 
age; seldom does one see a single waxen-like petal out of place.” 
We have waited for a long time before we could bring this good news to you; the Tulip 
fields of Holland are now up to their pre-war state of perfection. Experts who have seen the 
magnificent new varieties declare that the present crop of Holland Tulips is far superior to 
any ever grown before. 
Knowing how great is the demand by WAYSIDE customers when we have something of 
unusual beauty to offer, we have bought for you some of the finest varieties of Tulips in all 
Holland—Grullemans of Holland have been growing just such high quality Tulips for five 
generations and the President of WAYSIDE GARDENS CO. is a member of this family. 
At WAYSIDE we have been known to hold orders for certain stocks until the quality im- 
proved. In other instances, orders have been refunded when the products ordered did not 
come up to our expectations. This re-statement of our policy is made for the reason that 
we are constantly gaining new customers. We wish them to become acquainted with the 
character of the company with whom they are doing business, backed by our literally true 
slogan of Guaranteed Superior Quality—a guarantee long known to our thousands of older 
customers over a period of many years. 
Briefly, you may order a generous supply of the new Tulips with the satisfying assurance 
that you will receive some of the most beautiful kinds ever produced. Sturdy, healthy and 
lovely to the eye, you will be delighted with your purchase. Not in many years have we had 
Tulips of such beauty to offer to you. It will be many years before a similar improvement in 
varieties will make this possible again. 
We have ways of judging in advance (and with a high degree of accuracy) just how great 
the demand will be for any of our nursery products. We say to you now that the demand 
for these Tulips of unusual merit will be very great indeed. We had a perfect example of 
that last year. We urge that you lose no time in placing your order, but send it in today. 
Not until you see these superior Tulips in your garden will you be able to realize how great 
was your reward for placing your order early for these remarkably fine new kinds.
