HOWDY FOLKS 
THANKS A LOT 
FOR your kind letters—which I have found so 
little time to answer. 
FOR the many fine bulb orders. If you were as 
pleased with the bulbs as those who have 
written me—then we are both very happy. 
HERE is my list for 1939, a long list of the 
good older glads and the best of the newer 
varieties. 
FOLKS tell me that bulbs grown here on 
new soil at high altitude, at this northern loca¬ 
tion, with adequate irrigation, are unusually 
vigorous and generally satisfactory. 
HONEST descriptions, complete and detailed 
on the newer and rarer varieties. Concise on 
the rest. Figures (36-4-6) indicate: height of 
plant (36 inches); size of flower (four inches); 
6 open at one time. Comment is my personal 
opinion. 
LETTERS — I get dozens of letters like this: 
“I was certainly surprised to get such fine 
bulbs at such low prices, the blossoms were all 
fine, any of them would take a prize any¬ 
where.” 
GUARANTEE —Bulbs are guaranteed to 
reach you safely, to be true to name and ex¬ 
actly as represented. Due to conditions over 
which I have no control, I cannot guarantee 
your crop of flowers and bulbs. However, if 
you do not feel satisfied at any time, let me 
know and I’ll try to adjust. All bulbs are state 
inspected and found to be free of thrips and 
disease, and are so guaranteed.

GROUP 1 
Newer and rarer varieties from all parts of 
the world, some are new to me, but most have 
proven their worth in my own fields. Don’t 
overlook “OREGON ROSE,” and “MOON¬ 
LIGHT LADY,” my 1939 introduction, and 
don’t miss the 5c group beginning on page 7. 
“L” means large bulbs 114 in. up. “M” means 
medium size, % to 114 in. “S” means small 
size, under % in. “B” means bulblets. Not less 
than 10c worth of a variety sold. Six for the 
price of five. 
ALONE (Partain) 30-3-5 (also called 
Dragon Lyonaise). Soft salmon pink. Has 
spurs like a columbine or nasturtium. Amount 
varies. A monstrosity, very rare now. L 1— 
25c, M 1—15c. 
ANGELS DREAM (Ellis) 32-3-8. Soft La 
France pink, cream feather. Early ruffled, 
rosebud type. Makes the prettiest spike of 
any glad I’ve seen but it requires good cul¬ 
ture. Lacks vigor. L 2—15c, M 2—10c. 
BEACON (Palmer) Light scarlet with cream 
blotch. Very large and showy. L 1—25c, M 
1—15c, S 1—10c, B 10—20c. 
BIT O’ HEAVEN (Crow) 36-3V 2 -8. Beauti¬ 
ful clear, deep orange, lower petals deep gold. 
Most beautiful color and form. L 1—25c, M 
1—15c, B 6—25c. 
BLUE ADMIRAL (Christ) 36-4V 2 -7. Fine 
new medium deep blue-violet with rose bar. 
L 1—10c, M 2—15c, B 15—10c. 
instruction free with each order IF you ask for 
it, or 10c if wanted alone. 
PRICES —I try to make prices reasonable— 
barely at cost of production and advertising, 
but will meet the price of any reliable grower 
—if I have the stock. It costs money to pro¬ 
duce fine, true to name bulbs. That is why 
you often have sad experiences with “bargain 
bulbs.” 
ORDER EARLY please. We are both ahead 
when I get orders filled before planting time 
and the last-minute rush. Late in the season I 
sometimes have to substitute either in size or 
a similar variety. 
POSTAGE will be paid on retail orders over 
$1 in U. S. On smaller orders add 10c. Try to 
make your order total at least $1. Most retail 
orders will be shipped by mail, on large orders 
it is sometimes more economical to send by 
express, if your town has a station. Western 
orders can be sent anytime by mail, weather 
permitting. Bulbs sent east before March 25 at 
customer’s risk, by mail. Express orders safe 
anytime. 
WHEN YOU ORDER give your name and 
complete address; state varieties, size and 
amount of each wanted and inclose remittance. 
Currency, check, money order or on small 
orders, IV 2 or 3c stamps. No C. O. D., please. 
Orders will be receipted by postal card as soon 
as possible after received. “Let’s pay cash. 
Why delay prosperity?” 
FLOWERS are at their best in August, 
visitors are always welcome. Local friends 
will find my bulbs at local stores or should mail 
orders direct to me. Large mixed bulbs, 3 
dozen for $1 prepaid in Deschutes County only. 
Cut flowers for sale in season.
