QUESTIONS and ANSWERS 
Holland-grown bulbs are the finest obtainable because they are pro- 
duced by the world’s foremost growers who have generations of ex- 
perience behind them. Grown and packaged in Holland, they assure 
you of healthy, top-quality bulbs. 
@ Are Holland Bulbs Difficult to 
Grow? 
No. Under normal conditions Hol- 
land bulbs will produce well- 
developed flowers because the 
flower buds are already formed 
inside the bulbs when you receive 
them. 
@ Do They Require Any Special At- 
tention? 
No. Once planted, the bulbs take 
care of themselves. No weeding— 
no spraying for insects!

@ Should I Cut Off the Green F oliage 
After the Blooms are Gone? 
No, let it die down naturally. The 
green foliage is necessary for the 
development of the new bulb.

Ground? 
Indefinitely. For better flowering 
results, replant Tulips and Hya- 
cinths after 3 years.
