American-Grown Hardy Narcissi 
Northwest-Grown Bulbs From Which No Flowers Have Been Cut 
PRICES ACCORDING TO GROWERS AGREEMENT CODE 
O NE of our representatives makes an inspection each season 
when the bulbs are in bloom and again after the bulbs have 
been lifted and placed in trays in the warehouses. Therefore 
our customers are assured of the best quality. 
Quality of our stock has reached perfection through long study 
and adoption of the latest methods of culture. 
Our bulbs are grown in Oregon, where narcissi bulbs grow best. 
All our stock has come from the same source in the last six years. 
The most modern implements are used so that bruising and disease 
are reduced to minimum. After digging, our bulbs are stored in 
temperatures that have been found most satisfactory by eminent 
English and Dutch experimenters. This temperature treatment 
hastens the flowering period and keeps the bulbs firm. 
American grown narcissi are now not only grown as well as 
European, but they travel a shorter distance to you, minimizing 
the risk of heating and bruising.

Narcissus Paper White Grandiflora 
From the Finest Crop Harvested in Florida 
We have selected our American grown Paper Whites with the 
same care that we have learned to take in purchasing imported 
bulbs, keeping in mind the requirements of the greenhouse forcer. 
All our bulbs are grown from stock that originally came from the 
same Frenchman who supplied us before importation of foreign bulbs 
was prohibited. We caution florists against buying cheap bulbs of 
Paper Whites. You might get bulbs which have been left in the ground 
two or more years, and which show double crowns. Such bulbs will 
produce plenty of foliage, but will lack flowers. 
The fields from which our bulbs come were inspected by our bulb 
man at flowering time, to insure true type; and a further inspection 
was made at harvesting time. The stocks have all been tested 
for forcing in soil and in water and the reports from such tests are 
that while flowering somewhat later than imported bulbs, results 
are as good.
