TO ATTRACT TRADE
The prices herein quoted are good for immediate orders. We will ship all large
orders on arrival of each variety of Bulbs, or such date as you may name at
time of booking order.
We guarantee to deliver good, sound Bulbs of first quality or no sale, and if
not such they can be returned at once at our expense, if within five days after
receipt by you, but we resume no responsibilit}^ for the results in forcing or flower-
ing of Bulbs.
We allow 4 months' credit, or a discount of 5 per cent, for cash in 10 days from
date of bill. All bills over $50.00 subject to being closed by note. Bills under
$25.00 are net. Unknown correspondents must furnish satisfactor}- references with
order.
We furnish free a nice Retail Catalogue of Bulbs, gotten up with your nameand address alone appearing on it, and priced to give a proper margin of profit
and yet attract to you orders for Bulbs. These are supplied in proportion to
amount of your order with us, and can be sent by you to those likely to want
to buy Bulbs or have them planted out. You will find this a great help.
We use only the best growers and the same ones from year to year;our trade has
grown to be so valuable to them that we receive only the choicest and most select
Bulbs that they produce. Picking up Bulbs at auction and shifting from year to year
to buy from the cheapest man is not conducive to the best interests of the trade we
seek, and the success of our Bulb business and the confidence we have won have
proven that our carefulness and the fidelity of our growers have been amply rewarded,
and that we conduct our business in the right wa}- to give satisfaction to those who
buy of us.
Where we quote two sizes on any variety, our customers will find it to their
advantage, if growing for the cut flower trade, to order the best, for we import
just as we quote, paying the same difference in price that we ask to get eztra
fine Bulbs, and do not cull them out of one lot. All our Bulbs are first-class.
no inferior stock being handled in our trade.
AND SECURE THE BENEFIT OF THESE LIBERAL OFFERS. Our
prices by the 1,000 will be allowed on orders of 250 bulbs of a kind; 25
will be billed at 100 rates. Our prices are made very close, and cases will be
charged at cost, as we have to pay for same in importing.

The Hyacinth, is tiniversally admired both for its perfect
and chaste flowers and its delicate and fragrant perfume. It
succeeds equally well in the house and garden, adorning both
with the varied colors and delicious fragrance of its showy
flowers. Its culture is very simple, and if attention is paid
to the directions a failure is almost impossible.
All Single Hyacinths succeed well in glasses, and those
of the double ones marked (*) are 7nost desirable for glass
culture andforcing. Those marked (**) are the earliest in
bloom. Those ^narked {I) are the latest to bloom. Those
marked [F) are most highly recomviendedforflorists' use.
All Hyacinths are well adapted to pot culture and open
beds or borders.

Notice.—The true Berlin Pips, due to the light
sand}" soil in which they are grown, are not so large
in the crown as the Hamburg Pips, but they are earlier
and force with more regularity. Bear in mind, the
flowers of the Lily of the Valley are produced entirely
from the roots already established, and it is here that
our Berlin Pips show their excellence.
