American-grown Bulbs. 
We take great pleasure in presenting our 1940 catalog of daffodils, iris and montbretias, 
all grown by us on our three hundred acre farm near Sandy, Oregon. In addition to the 
varieties listed we grow large stocks of miscellaneous bulbs such as Alliums, Lilies, 
Ixiolirions, etc., etc. This year again we have added several choice items to our list 
and we draw your attention especially to the unusually complete collection of miniature 
daffodils, most of which we have raised ourselves from seed. 
Your attention is also drawn to the checklist of varieties of daffodils grown by us 
(see pages 42 to 46, inc.). Descriptions and prices of varieties not listed and priced in 
the first part of the catalog will be gladly furnished on demand. 
Descriptions in this catalog are not copyrighted and may be used by catalog com¬ 
pilers without special permission being given. In addition to this, we have a very com¬ 
plete collection of black and white photographs, suitable for reproduction, well as a 
very fine collection of color plates. All this material can be supplied either free of charge 
or at nominal cost. 
For lectures on bulbs we have available a very complete collection of Kodachrome 
slides and we are ready to furnish with these typewritten lectures which have been 
specially prepared by Mr. Jan de Graaff. 
The Oregon Bulb Farms, largest growers of fine daffodils in this country, supply 
exclusively the larger jobbers and seed stores. Large stocks of all the popular varieties 
are maintained to help the stores build up a profitable retail trade. A large chart, printed 
in color, is available to give your customers a good idea of the range of types of daffodils 
that can be supplied. 
We can also supply transparencies of all varieties listed, size 5x7 inches, 
mounted between glass, at a cost of $2.50 each. These will be made to 
order by expert photographers and will be colored by hand in transparent 
watercolors. As these have to be made up when the daffodils are in bloom 
we should have your order for them in our hands before April ist.
