The OU Amsterdam - 
isle, Hollen 
OME with me, fellow gardener, on a fascinating 
C journey along the floral trails of the world. Share 
with me these priceless treasures; some removed 
from the world’s remote and romantic places, some cre- 
ated by the master craftsmen of the flower kingdom, and 
all gloriously displayed for your enduring enjoyment. 
Their discovery by plant explorers is, in itself, a tale 
of high adventure as exciting as that of a quest for a 
sea-dog’s gold; for nature covets her rarest gems and 
jealously hides them behind her most insurmountable 
barriers, safe from prying eyes and alien hands. Their 
acquisition was fraught with danger — but here you'll 
find them, the result of countless voyages and endless 
miles of wilderness travel, of many years of searching by 
men to whom plant exploration has long since become a 
labor of love. 
The creation of brilliant new personalities is the age- 
old romance of patient, loving toil, of generations of 
tireless work by master craftsmen who have delved into 
the mysteries of plant life to bring forth, year after year, 
a fabulous array of magnificent beauties.

WE BRING YOU 
Horal ofreasures 
of the World 
CED 
Here are Nature’s and Man’s most scintillating floral 
prizes, proudy arrayed for your contemplation and won- 
derment; sleek and tawny from the alluring Indies; ex- 
otic and goldenly-burnished from under magic Malayan 
skies; sinuous and multi-colored from the dimness of Af- 
rican jungles; warm and buxom and tender as the lov- 
ing hands that removed them from the rich earth of The 
Netherlands. 
You'll find them all—softly beautiful as a 
love ballad, insinuatingly-romantic as a 
buccaneer’s boot. Thrill to them and 
accept them, fellow gardener, as I have, 
and enjoy stirring new gardening 
adventure which will bring undreamed of 
beauty, exciting mystery, and 
colorful pageantry right into 
your own backyard.
