Book Description

Excerpt from A Book of Flowers From Henry Field Seed Co: Fall 1923 I want every one of our customers to have a tulip bed next 'spring, and the only way you can have it is to order the bulbs now and plant them this fall, in October or November, then they will bloom in April next year. They can be planted right out doors in any garden soil, and will live and bloom for years. They are' hardy anywhere. They are the gayest of all flowers, the first to bloom in the spring, and the easiest of all to grow. Full cultural directions will be sent with each order, and they are guaranteed to grow and bloom, if you follow directions. They can also be planted in the house for winter blooming, if you prefer that to planting out doors. They must be ordered early, as the bulbs are grown in Holland, and are imported from there every year in September, so we must have your order now. I have made up this special' collection of 20 bulbs of the very finest I could buy. It con tains all of the colors shown above and many others. They are selected so they will bloom at the same time, _ and think what a show they will make. Your yard Will be the envy of the neighborhood. Remember these can be planted only in the fall. They cannot be had or planted in the spring. Place your order now, and the bulbs will be sent to you at the proper time in the fall, as soon as they arrive from Holland.
