X N THIS war-tom world one's garden is 
the most satisfactory place to find peace 
and pleasure. Now is the time to plan 
your spring garden. You will want it to 
be alive with all the brilliant colors and forms of 
spring flowers from the earliest crocus to the last 
iris. 
On account of the general shortage of bulbs 
this season and the increased demand on all 
American growers for bulbs, we urge you to make 
your selection early while there is a complete 
selection of varieties. 
We have been growing bulbs in Washington 
state for 30 years and have one of the largest 
plantings in this country. 
The bulbs for fall planting grown here in the 
Puget Sound Country have all the advantages 
bulbs can have. They are grown and cured in 
the best bulb climate in the world. Spring flower¬ 
ing bulbs are fond of humid atmosphere, gentle 
abundant rains which after falling move quickly 
through the soil; growing temperatures that are 
mild, and gentle movements of air. All these go 
to make the perfect bulb producing climate—the 
climate of the Puget Sound Country. It is here the 
Gardenville Bulb Growers produce the bulbs 
which are offered in this catalog. They are shipped 
direct to you from the fields where they are grown. 
Fields having deep, silty, sandy loam soils, 
through which water moves rapidly and which 
allows the easy and rapid development of roots. 
Only the finest bulbs are selected to fill your 
orders—bulbs at the height of their life cycle to 
produce their finest flowers in your garden. 
You will find each year in our lists the best of 
the newer varieties, carefully selected, fully 
recommended, and offered at the lowest price 
commensurate with quality. 
The Narcissi and Daffodils are all the finest 
selected No. 1 bulbs and the Tulips all top size 
chosen to give the longest life and finest flowers 
in your beds. 
All bulbs are guaranteed true to name, free 
from disease or pests, and to arrive in good con¬ 
dition. If they do not give complete satisfaction, 
advise us at once. 
As you turn these pages you will find many 
tempting collections where you may make your 
own choice. These selections can be made with 
full assurance quality has not been sacrificed for 
price.
