Profitable Sales of Imported Fall Bulbs 
Everyone likes the lovely and cheerful colors of our spring 
flowers from fall planted bulbs. Nothing is brighter in the spring 
landscape than Tulips, Narcissus, Hyacinths, Crocus and the various 
rock garden flowers, 
The bulbs must be planted in the fall from September to No- 
vember and even in December, We get our bulbs from Holland as soon 
as it is possible to ship them in, and we are makinz arrangements 
for earlier arrival this year, 
We purchase them in carload lots direct from the same reli- 
able grower in the Netherlands with whom we have dealt for over 
twenty years. Our bulbs are shipped by water to Chicago, thence 
to us by carload rail freizht. Inthis manner, we are able to re- 
duce the charges and costs of importing to a minimum and are able 
to pass these savings on to our customers through lower prices, 
Please remember that our prices include everything except 
transportation from Ottawa to your cityv--no extra charges of any 
kind. Orders received from the enclosed list must be in our hands 
by July 1, 1949, to insure delivery. Later orders will be filled 
from open stock and the selection will be considerably smaller. 
It will be a pleasure to book your order now for individual 
packing in Holland, Just fill in the quantities desired and give 
us your correct name and address and shipping instructions in the 
space provided on the last pase, We will acknowledge your order
