Tulips Prepared for very 
Early Forcing 
Specially prepared Tulips for early forcing were intro- 
duced some years ago. The excellent results obtained give 
us every reason to believe that the demand for these pre- 
pared bulbs will increase. Numerous experiments over a 
period of many years have been necessary in order to per- 
fect the method of preparing these bulbs, and we now offer 
them with: every confidence that results will prove entirely 
satisfactory. 
The bulbs should be potted immediately on receipt and 
can be brought into the greenhouse in early Decmber. The 
exact date will depend upon the growing season in Holland. 
Each season, our trials in Holland enable us to keep our 
custcmers informed as to the best date to bring the pots into 
the greenhouse. They should be exposed to full light imme- 
diately after being brought in. A temperature of 60-70 
should be maintained; otherwise the stems will grow too tall. 
will grow too tall. 
Prepared bulbs are not carried in stock here at Oyster 
Bay. They must be ordered by number. Your order should 
reach us not later than August 15.
