ALBUM OF ARRANGEMENTS 
FREE with Orders from This Catalog 
When we first heard of the projected publication of 
this large volume, we promptly airmailed an order for 
1000 copies, sight unseen, so great was our confidence 
in the brilliance of Carl Starker’s work. To make such 
a large cash outlay for premiums when we could have 
used glad bulbs already on hand exclusively for extras 
may not be the way to show a big annual profit but I 
can’t imagine any better way to give a BIG THRILL 
to a large section of the glad fraternity than by putting 
this magnificent, inspiring volume into their hands. 
Viewing the superb arrangements, the exquisite 
color plates and halftones, the elegant typography, an- 
other prominent arranger asked Mr. Starker why he 
did not charge $12.50 for this impressive album. Cer- 
tainly it would easily be worth it! Yet it is available 
for only $7.50 at leading bookstores all over America. 
Containing more than 300 pages with over 200 half- 
tones and 24 color plates, plus Carl Starker’s inimitable 
explanations, this volume will teach you more about 
flower arrangement than a $100 course at a florist’s 
school. It is destined to become the most-prized vol- 
ume in many a horticultural library. 
Carl Starker is known among his friends as “the man 
who taught the Japanese flower arrangement”. This, 
of course, is facetious since the Japanese originated 
the art, but Carl Starker has carried it to new heights 
and injected an element of infinite variety. Sameness 
is one fault you'll never find in Carl Starker’s work.

You'll find hundreds of different kinds of flowers and 
scores of different types of foliage and vases used in 
this fascinating volume. 
There are two schools of flower arrangement extant 
in America today: the school producing stiff, formal, 
architectural arrangements and the naturalistic ar- 
rangements have that light touch, that unstudied look, 
each one appearing as if it had just “happened,” as if 
it were a happy accident. 
You'll be surprised what lovely compositions you 
can make yourself after studying and absorbing the 
spirit of Mr. Starker’s work. Certainly there is no 
better way of eliciting the “magic touch” in yourself 
than by steeping yourself in this delightful volume. 
Indeed, if flowers are your hobby, you owe it to your- 
self to acquire this most enjoyable book. If you al- 
ready have it, may we remind you that it would make 
the perfect gift for a cherished friend. (There is 
nothing to prevent you from getting several copies if 
you desire.) 
Our premium offer is most generous: Anything in 
our catalog, including collections and items from our 
wholesale list may be included in the total of your 
order. Bulbs will be shipped when requested or when 
the weather moderates but Carl Starker’s delightful 
book will be mailed to you at once for your immediate 
enjoyment!
