QUESTIONS and ANSWERS 
Holland-grown bulbs are the finest obtainable 
because they are produced by the world’s fore- 
most bulb growers who have generations of ex- 
perience behind them. All bulbs ordered from 
this catalog are genuine Holland bulbs and 
come to you Direct from Holland. Grown and 
packaged in Holland, they assure you of healthy, 
top-quality bulbs capable of giving you the best 
possible flowering results. 
Are Holland BULBS DIFFICULT TO GROW? 
No. Under normal conditions Holland 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 ATTENTION? 
No. Once planted, the bulbs take care of them- 
selves. No weeding—no spraying for insects. 
Without further bother, they will produce gor- 
.geous flowers in your garden year after year! 
Where CAN I PLANT THEM? 
Anywhere, in either sun or partial shade. 
What KIND OF SOIL DO THEY NEED? 
No special kind. Any garden soil will grow them. 
.Is FERTILIZER NECESSARY? 
Chemical fertilizers are not advised. An applica- 
tion of an organic fertilizer such as manure or 
bonemeal is helpful. 
How MANY BULBS WILL I NEED? 
Tulips require 5 to 8 bulbs per square foot, Daf- 
fodils 4 to 5 bulbs, Hyacinths 3 to 4 bulbs, and 
the Heralds of Spring about 12 bulbs. 
Do Bulbs NEED PROTECTION DURING THE 
WINTER? 
No, they are hardy. If you live m a climate where 
the ground alternately freezes and thaws, cover 
the ground with a light mulch. 
Should I CUT OFF THE GREEN FOLIAGE 
AFTER THE BLOOMS ARE GONE? 
No, let it die down naturally. The green foliage 
is necessary for the development of the new bulbs. 
Should BULBS BE TAKEN UP AFTER THEY 
BLOOM? 
Daffodils, Heralds of Spring, and Lilies should be 
left undisturbed to multiply. Tulips and Hya- 
cinths can remain in the ground for 3 years, but 
if you desire to move them to a new location, dig 
bulbs after the foliage has died down com- 
pletely. Store bulbs in a cool place and replant 
in the fall. 
DELIVERY. Prices include transportation charges. 
GUARANTEE. All bulbs are guaranteed to be true 
to name and sure to bloom. Our liability, however, 
is limited to the purchase price of the bulbs.
