WASHINGTON GROWN 
BULB GROWING in America is a recent industry. “Washington Grown” Daffodils and 
Tulips are now conceded to be the finest produced anywhere in the world. This fact is 
now recognized by leading greenhouse operators and seedsmen. 
Some of Europe’s leading bulb growers who have visited Northwest bulb fields have 
commented on the quality of the stocks produced and have pronounced them superior to 
any produced abroad. Many of the largest plantings are owned by Holland firms who have 
moved their stock here from Holland. 
The excellency of these bulbs is due to a great many factors. Foremost among these 
is the most perfect climatic conditions for the growing and curing of hardy bulb stocks. 
The mild wet winters make for perfect growing conditions. The cool summers and proper 
atmospheric conditions are ideal for the proper curing of the bulbs. 
Northwest grown bulbs, when forced, flower much earlier than the foreign product or 
those produced in less favorable sections. Flowers from these forced bulbs command a 
premium on the market, due to their earliness, size of flower and superior quality. 
The abundance of rich river bottom lands in the Northwest, allows the grower to 
move his planting to “new” ground often. This is very beneficial to the stocks and insures 
the production of bulbs free from fungus diseases and other ailments traced to the re- 
peated growing of bulbous stocks on the same soil. 
This being America’s foremost bulb producing section, the State and Government 
both maintain a highly trained force of experienced men, who are working constantly on 
methods of combating disease. The many laboratories and experiment stations are ever on 
the alert for any new ailment that might attack or impair the quality of the crop. 
The educational and scientific work did by the State and Federal departments of agri- 
culture is far ahead of anything accomplished abroad. This is strongly emphasized in 
comparing foreign and Washington Grown Daffodils. We must destroy a large percentage 
of new importations in order to have disease free stock for further propagation. 
Northwest grown Daffodils lead the world in freedom from disease. This fact has 
been established many times at Quarantine hearings held in Washington, DG: sby. the 
U. S. Dept. of Agriculture.
