Advance Bulb List -- Fall 1955 
To all our gardening friends we offer this 1953 selection of the WORLD'S 
FINEST SPRING-FLOWERING BULBS for fall planting. More than one thousand vari- 
eties, some new, some old have just completed their blooming season here in 
our trial gardens. We have selected the best of them for this list. All are 
recommended but we have capitalized the names of some we wish especially to 
call to your attention. 
We have included many from the scores of new varieties Holland sent us for 
trial this year. Among the tulips, we were much impressed by Cottage Spring 
Song, Darwin White Leader and Ivory Parrot. Among the many fine new daffodils, 
Trumpets Limone and Content and Large-cup Jeanne Desor drew much attention. 
Remember, this is an ADVANCE LIST. We can stock only a small fraction of 
this offering for fall buyers. All new varieties and many older ones are never 
too plentiful. So to avoid disappointment send in your order as soon as possi- 
ble after receiving this list.
