In the past I've never been able to offer as many back bulb cuttimgss-dyPr™ 
have sold readily. Now I have an extra fine lot of C. Mossiae back bulbs, and 
hope I may receive your order promptly so you can get your share of then. 
These are not just ordinary, run-of-the-mill Mossiae, but are cuts from a collection 
of plants that produce nearly 40,000 salable blooms for the New York market each 
Spring. Having been thoroughly culled over a period of twelve years, there is not 
an inferior plant in the lot. The annual fuel bill alone for the houses these plants 
occupy would stagger the average citizen, so naturally no plant is kept that has not 
proved its ability to pay for the space it occupies! 
These cuttings average three plump bulbs with leaves; one or more live eyes - some of 
them starting to grow into new leads. I've never seen a finer, healthier lot of back 
bulbs. Handled properly, 100% should produce strong blooming Mossiae plants in two 
seasons. Some will throw a few blooms the first season. 
They are divided into two groups; EARLY, for Easter Season; LATE, for Mother's Day. 
Let me know whether you prefer ‘early or late Spring blooms, or some of eache 
Shipping charges are very economical on bare root back bulb cuttings this time of 
year as they require little packing. Unless otherwise directed, I ship anywhere in 
the U.S.A. by Railway Express; to Hawaii by Air Parcel Post; to Canada by Parcel Post; 
to Canal Zone and Puerto Rico by Air Freight. (Hawaiian and Canadian customers, 
please order before appiying for Import Permit, to avoid delay and possible disap- 
pointment in finding bulbs all sold.)
