THE DAFFODIL FARM 
OLYMPIA, WASH. R4 

Possibly some of you who have been buying bulbs of 
us for many years, have wondered what we look like. Now 
you know and we hope the shock is not too great. Anyway 
it was the best the photographer could do with the material 
supplied. Of course we are sure we do not look like that. 
We thank you sincerely for your orders received last 
season, with special thanks to those who told their friends 
about our bulbs and thus secured us many new customers. 
For 18 years we have been growing flowering bulbs 
and hope to continue doing so, but things are uncertain these 
days, who knows. _ First it seems, as this is being written, 
our farm among others may be taken over by the govern- 
ment for military purposes, so we may have to move just at 
the busiest time of harvesting crops or shipping orders which 
would be a serious complication. 
Then as you know, during those past recent years of 
bestowing blessings with gentle pats on the backs of radicals 
it became utterly unthinkable that a man reaching the very 
mature age of 45 or over should have a job, so he was dump- 
ed in the garbage can and his job given to a more dynamic 
go-getter. Now, believe it or not, it seems we “‘old’’ squirts 
are going to be gingerly fished out of the garbage dump, 
cleaned, repaired and polished up a bit and put to work in 
the war machine. That is fine and dandy, as it should be. 
In the meantime we shall do our best to supply you fine 
quality flowering bulbs this season. 
We guarantee our bulbs true to name, free of disease 
and to arrive in good condition. If not perfectly satisfied 
on receiving shipment, please notify us at once. Bulb ship- 
ment begins about September Ist. and the wisdom of order- 
ing early is greater than ever before. 
Those who wish to put all spare cash into war stamps 
should do so, then send us stamps to amount of your order 
and we will convert them into war bonds as they accumulate. 
Sincerely, 
Wallen Re and Edith we Taylor
