READ TWO PARAGRAPHS BELOW BEFORE ORDERING 
Each spring, when Tulips, Daffodils and other bulbs come into 
bloom, many of our customers regret that they neglected to plant 
more of these colorful, dependable flowers the previous fall. All 
bulbs on this page must be planted in fall, to bloom the following 
spring. Make your selections and place your order during the 
blooming season. We will hold your order for shipment in the fall. 
If prices are lower at that time, we will refund the difference,
