A General Letter To You From Us 
We welcome with you another season of deep enjoyment, interest and 
relaxation indoors from these amazing bulbs which we offer in the followr 
ing pages, the best of the DUTCH strains (61) named varieties of the 
WARMENHOVEN, LUDWIG and VAN MEEUWAN strains, the highly 
vigorous ORIENT strain and the outstanding domestic strains of 
HOWARD & SMITH as well as the hardy variety from Japan, L. Squami- 
gera and L. Radiata. 
According to MARK TWAIN, to be a success in this life all you need 
is ignorance and confidence. We started our business that way and are 
decreasing our ignorance rapidly and increasing our confidence, our suc- 
cess is knowing that our customers derive unbounded enjoyment from 
the bulbs we ship them and we know this from the many letters of appre- 
Clation we receive. 
We are a young business but growing soundly in spite of the mistakes 
we've made and the difficulties encountered. We look to GOD for guid- 
ance and wisdom in our daily living and thank HIM for all things. Our 
keenest pleasure is growing flowers, specially AMARYLLIS and it is our 
earnest desire to include you in the very desireable group of-our well pleas- 
ed customers who are our good friends. ; 
Much wealth is ours from this business, not in money value but in 
the value of the flower loving friends we’ve made for whom we are very 
grateful. 
Amaryllis have much to offer when you consider the perfect beauty 
of their blooms produced from such plain looking brown bulbs year after 
year for as many years as you will give them just normal sensible care. 
When you consider the commonplace requirements of Amaryllis, water, 
light (sun), air and soil and the profound beauty resulting, it is little 
wonder that we classify them as amazing. 
DUTCH hybrid offerings in 28 cm. size bulbs circumference which is 
equal to approximately 314” diameter.
