A bulb catalogue from H Willemsen Jr, Hillegom, Holland/ Netherlands, listing mostly tulips, hyacinth, daffodils and narcissi.
The catalogue belonged to Mrs Doreen Whitaker who lived in Little Gaddesden, Hertfordshire, where she transformed a field into a garden. Out-of-date catalogues were passed on to her daughter Diana, who would cut out flowers for her scrapbook - although this catalogue survived the scissors.
Gift of Mrs Diana Hunt
