The Daffodil farm 
OLYMPIA. WASH.. R4. 
Yes, it seems certain the early buyer 
will get the bulbs this season. At the time 
this is being written for printing it ap¬ 
pears there will be no bulbs from Holland 
so there is very apt to be a shortage of all 
bulbs, especially Tulips, Hyacinths, Iris, 
Crocus and many others. 
In any event it is best to play safe and order early as 
possible. When our supply is sold that will be the end, for 
we have no assurance at this time that we can replenish our 
supply from other growers. Many of the varieties we list 
are limited and in ordering Tulips especially it would be well 
to give a second choice. We will not substitute unless you 
say to do so. 
Possibly due to a mild winter our bulb crops are excep¬ 
tionally well grown this season, and those who have bot of 
us in the past know you will receive good bulbs. We take this 
chance to thank all who sent us orders last year and wish 
you to know this patronage was greatly appreciated. We 
will do the best we can to supply your orders this season in 
a manner that will please you. 
GUARANTEE—We guarantee all stock true to name 
and free of disease and to please you on arrival. Furth¬ 
er than this we cannot go, for we have no control over 
your climate or growing conditions. If for any reason 
you are not pleased with shipments, notify us at once. 
PRICES POSTPAID—unless otherwise stated. Cash or 
25 % with order and balance c. o. d. Stamps with small 
orders welcome. 6 bulbs of one variety at dozen rate.

The above picture shows the grading system of commer¬ 
cial growers. From left to right, a mother buib with offsets 
or slabs attached; a compact double nose bulb having two or 
more blooming centers; a round or single nose bulb having 
one blooming center only; and a slab or offset removed from 
a mother bulb, many of these will bloom. The original bulb 
of each variety came of course from a seedling, which do not 
come true from seed; this seedling requires about 6 years to 
bloom, then the entire supply of this one variety is propo- 
gated from this one selected seedling, if you live long enough.
