In buying direct from the grower, you have the assurance 
of quality bulbs grown especially for the wholesale trade from 
young, vigorous stock. You are assured of high-crowned true- 
toename bulbs, accurately graded, hand selected: clean and 
healthy—thrips free. These bulhs cannot fail to produce top 
grade flowers 
Use only FIRST size buibs for forcing. For best results 
plant after January 15th. For cold frame planting use EITHER 
first or second size bulbs. Many successful florists use third 
size bulbs for main crop outside, with second size for extra 
early or late. 
If not familiar with the varieties listed, we recommend our 
Collections A, B, C or D, which we feature as an introductory 
offer to new customers.

Dust with DDT for protection against insects. To prevent 
thrips infestation, we recommend dusting with 5% DDT once 
a week, starting when the plants are 6 inches high, until the 
flower spikes appear. The best time to apply this dust is 
early morning while leaves are wet with dew. W'ettable DDT 
sprays may be used. Follow manufacturers recommendations.
