Daffodils. 

Greetings from our new home at Monroe, Washington 
For the last fifteen years our bulbs have been grown 
on a ranch adjacent to Fort Lewis, Washington. At 
the beginning of this emergency Uncle Sam needed 
our land to expand his army. Even then our Tulip fields 
were visited now and then by an artillery shell that had 
over-shot its target. 
Last summer we dug all the bulbs, millions of them, 
packed up our equipment and moved seventy miles 
north to Monroe. 
Now we greet you from a new farm, located in the 
Snohomish River Valley, one of the most productive 
areas in the Puget Sound country. Here we have 500 
acres of rich black soil that is making one of the best 
crops we have had in thirty-two years. 
This fertile soil; with a humid atmosphere; gentle 
abundant rains, which, after falling, seep quickly 
through the ground; and growing temperatures that are 
mild, make this one of the best spots in the world for 
growing bulbs. Added to these natural advantages 
are the combined experiences of our growers to produce 
bulbs of exceptional quality. 
Only the most perfect bulbs are selected to fill your 
orders—bulbs at the height of their life cycle—to send 
forth their loveliest flowers in your garden. They are 
indeed the cream of our crop. 
The Narcissus and Daffodils are selected No. | bulbs, 
every one of which will give you one or two prize flow- 
ers. The Tulips are Top Size bulbs, chosen to give the 
longest life and the finest blooms in your beds. 
All bulbs are guaranteed true to name, free from dis- 
ease or pests, and to arrive in good condition. If they 
do not give complete satisfaction please advise us at 
once. 
Bulbs planted in the fall will give your garden spring's 
gayest colors from the first Crocus to the last Iris. What 
a relief these brilliant blossoms bring after the long, 
drab winter months. 
Now is the time to plan and plant your garden for 
spring. Send your order early while there is a com- 
plete selection of varieties available. 
Each page you turn lists and illustrates the very best 
varieties obtainable in each classification, arrived at 
after careful trial and selection. From time to time you 
will find tempting collections from which you may make 
your own choice. 
These selections can be made with full assurance 
quality has not been sacrificed for price.
