SPECIALISTS IN CHOICE, RARE AND UNUSUAL FLOWER-BULBS FROM ALL PARTS OF THE WORLD. 
Dear Friend: 
No doubt the bulbs you planted last Fall are blooming like mad -- filling your home and 
garden with a riot of color. 
Right now, while you're enjoying your garden at the peak of its loveliness, you can't help 
bubbling over with ideas... new color schemes for mass plantings, new varieties for bor- 
der effects, new and unusual bulbs you haven't planted before. 
That's the main reason we're sending you our Fall catalog so early...so you can make 
your Fall plans while your garden is in full bloom. And with your appetite for flowers 
already sharpened, you're going to have the time of your life browsing through this new 
Fall catalog. It surpasses anything we've ever published. Page after page gives you 
flowering beauty gathered from the four corners of the earth. 
Every bulb offered here is the peak of perfection ... hand selected and hand packed for 
shipment only after it's grown to the full flush of healthy maturity. That's why you can 
select Barnes bulbs to your heart's content, and always be absolutely sure that they are 
the finest varieties and quality it's humanly possible to produce. 
As you wander through the pages of flowering beauty in this catalog, notice how carefully 
we've given you the every important detail ... color, size of bloom, height of plant, etc. 
so you can plan your entire Spring garden for the utmost in beauty. 
Now, there's another reason why we're sending you our Fall catalog so early. We want to 
encourage you to place your Fall order as soon as possible... in the next 10 days if you 
can. You see, a great many of our bulbs are imported from long distances. We'll place 
our orders for these bulbs during the next few weeks, and it will help us tremendously in 
knowing how many to order if you and our other customers tell us how many you're going 
to want. 
But just as important, by placing your order now you are sure of getting everything you 
order without fail. Those who wait and order this Fall may have to accept substitutions or 
do without, because no matter how hard we try we can't accurately anticipate the demand 
for every variety. We always run out of some, and consequently have to disappoint a few 
of our very wonderful customers. 
Now, since it's to both your advantage and ours, we're making you a very special offer
