Holland bulbs.

The nurseries have been expanded, year after year, to meet the current demands. 
We have proved to ourselves and to our customers the value of steady experimenting 
and testing. Each successive planting is a distinct improvement over the previous 
planting. We produce and sell just one grade of Holland bulbs, the finest. Our prices are 
generally the same as those asked for ordinary bulbs. Unsolicited letters constantly 
come from our customers expressing their profound satisfaction at the high productivity 
and gorgeous blooms of our bulbs. 
With this catalog you will find order blanks designed to easily list the varieties of your 
choice. We look forward to your patronage and reassure you that every bulb you receive 
will be of deJagers renowned superb quality. Regardless of your location the bulbs will 
be shipped by us to arrive at the proper planting time.
