Reliable Tulips 
EASTER IN 1950 COMES ON APRIL 9, and it is important that florists keep this in mind, particularly when planting 
and handling their bulbous stock. 
Our Tulip bulbs are grown in the best districts, to insure perfect development and full-size stock. Those who place their orders with us 
may be sure of getting bulbs that will not only bloom but also prove true to name. 
The asterisk (*) preceding the variety denotes that it is suitable for forcing as well as bedding. The letters E, F and G following the va- 
riety indicate their relative time of blooming, the E’s being the earliest to bloom. The figures indicate the normal height in mches. 
Tulip bulbs are packed 250 in a bag; please order in units of this number if possible.
