Heiloo, Holland, May 1952 
our Eighty-second year. 
Wh rave pleasure in sending you our 1952 Catalog of genuine Dutch grown bulbs for 
Fall planting. We do so with the request that it may have your kind attention and in- 
terest. At the same time we wish to thank our many friends and customers for their loyal 
patronage in the past. 
It is pleasing to find from our experience in handling the Spring orders for Gladioli, 
Begonias etc. at our new location in South Hamilton, Massachusetts, that we are in a 
better position to guarantee the handling of your orders more promptly and in a more 
satisfactory manner. 
At the time this catalog was going to press, our bulb-crop in Holland looks very 
promising, as we have never had such a lovely flowering season as this year. Right from 
the time of the Winterflowering Crocus, which is in the middle of February, until now, 
when we have taken leave of the last fading tulips, the weather has been quite wonderful. 
If nothing unforeseen happens, we shall have a bumper crop of fine, real superior bulbs 
of all types, awaiting your orders. } 
We hope many friends and customers in the U.S.A. and Canada will participate in the 
‘‘Holland Bulb Flower Photo Contest’’, sponsored by the Associated Bulb Growers of 
Holland Inc., as many handsome prizes may be won. 
With cordial greetings and wishing you a successful bulb planting season.
