1950 FALL FOLDER 
The list of varieties printed on this sheet were taken from 
our 1950 Catalog at random. It is impossible, of course, to offer 
here all of the items which are in our 32-page 1950 Fall Planting 
Guide, a copy of which you should have. If for some reason you may 
have misplaced your catalog we will be glad to send you an extra 
copy. 
There are very few Scarcities for our crop of all spring=- 
flowering bulbs has been good, although reports coming from the 
Netherlands seem to indicate that their crops are way below normal 
this year and supplies are limited. As you very well know, bulbs 
cannot be manufactured like many other commodities. 
This small folder is merely to remind you that your order will 
~ pe much appreciated — and may we suggest that now is the nicest 
time to send it in — now when full selections are still available. 
Sincerely yours, 
Harry Nelis
