DEAR FRIENDS: 
We’re delighted to be able to show, to some extent, the beauty which can 
be yours, on the covers of this catalog. We do not pretend that the pictures do 
justice to the real fowers, but they do bring to mind the lovely effects you can 
have by using these most easily grown Dutch bulbs in your Garden. 
Although it’s fall, we greet you as a breath of spring, gently warming the 
chill air, invigorating spirits, bringing new life into growing things, and such 
a greeting is not out of place, for we are at the same time urging you to plant 
our fine quality Holland grown bulbs. They’ll greet you, gloriously, for us, 
with the first breath of spring. 
You'll find the quality of our bulbs unsurpassed—We guarantee them to 
bloom for you—and our prices—well, check them against any other reliable 
dealer’s—they’re “rock bottom” and a welcome thought that is in times like 
these. 
Park’s Dutch Bulbs then, are the buy of the year. You can’t eat them, but 
meat and potatoes leave something lacking, which we feel, is likely nourish- 
ment for the soul, so amply provided in these glorious blooms. Perhaps it was 
Confucius who said: If I had two loaves of bread, I’d sell one and buy a white 
Hyacinth to feed my soul.” Things are far from that bad in this country but 
certainly we do need more food for the soul, and perhaps the beauty of God’s 
creation to be found in the garden, is what more of us need. 
We'll look forward to hearing from you. It will be a pleasure to serve you, 
especially since reports from our growers indicate that we’ll have extra fine 
bulbs for you. You’ll like our service too, and perhaps even appreciate this 
gentle reminder, if because of it, you plant these lovelies in your garden. 
For, they’ll burst forth into glorious color thrilling you to your toes and 
bringing the good springtime with them too. 
Floricordially yours, 
GEO. W. PARK SEED CO. 
all bulbs and seeds 
are postpaid.
