OREGON BULB FARMS, INC., SANDY, OREGON 

To Our Friends and Customers: 
We take great pleasure in presenting herewith our new descriptive catalog of daffodils, 
iris, lilies and other bulbs that we grow. For your convenience we have attempted to give 
short descriptions of all varieties. Again we have added a number of exceptionally fine 
new introductions to our collection after an exhaustive study of the best novelties offered 
abroad. 
As the war continues we are fully aware of our responsibility to preserve and per- 
petuate these fine new hybrids which may well be lost abroad. We have attempted to 
price all bulbs according to their relative values, even though our prices may be out of 
line with those prevailing abroad before the war. Mlost standard varieties are priced 
substantially the same as last year. Many good novelties have been reduced in price but 
it must be remembered that the job of growing these hundreds of small lots of bulbs is 
an expensive one and that we cannot carry on this work without some tangible recogni- 
tion of our efforts. 
This year we have planted over one hundred and twenty-five acres of bulbs, a large 
part of which is taken up by our daffodil novelties. The production of our own hybrid 
daffodils is progressing and we have already many small stocks of promising seedlings. 
Miniature daffodils raised from seed on our farms are increasing rapidly in number and 
show unusual vigor. 
May we remind our customers again that we supply exclusively the larger jobbers and 
seedstores in this country. Large stocks of the popular varieties are maintained and a 
special price list covering these items will be issued later in the season. 
Descriptions in this catalog are not copyrighted and may be used by catalog compilers 
without special permission being given. In addition to this, we have a very complete 
collection of black and white photographs, suitable for reproduction, as 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 
especially prepared by Mr. Jan de Graaff.

We can also supply transparencies of all varieties listed, size 5 x 7 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 (st.
