Last year I made a very important decision, and that 
was to offer my rose growing friends the finest Holland 
Bulbs it was possible to obtain. 
I made this decision because my friends had been 
writing to me for years asking me to supply them with 
a reliable line of Holland Bulbs! 
For a number of years a certain amount of bulbs, 
known as Holland Bulbs, were sold in this country and 
were of inferior quality. They were not cheap but low 
priced and that induced people to “take a chance” and 
they have since been dissatisfied with Holland Bulbs. 
Well, we wanted our friends to be just as sure of the 
quality of their Holland Bulbs as they were when they 
planted Jackson & Perkins Roses. So we got in touch 
with the top-notch bulb growers in Holland, made com- 
parisons of quality, size, varieties, hardiness, growing 
characteristics, and then made our own field trials. We 
wanted the biggest, plumpest, highest quality bulbs 
grown in Holland—and that’s just what we got!
