A FIELD OF VAUGHAN TULIPS IN OREGON 
Tulip Supply at Alltime Low 
As a result of the war the supply of tulip bulbs available for planting in the United States this fall has been 
reduced to the lowest figure of which we have any record. There are probably fewer tulips bulbs in existence 
now than at any other time in the last hundred years. 
Of American grown bulbs, of which we have the largest plantings, the severe shortage of labor and materials, 
which was especially acute in the Pacific northwest, has reduced the crop to 60% of last year's figure. 
British bulbs will number not more than 50% of last year's supply and these are chiefly small sizes, of doubtful 
value for forcing in greenhouses. 
On most varieties in our limited supply, we are oversold and will be able to deliver only a percentage of each 
advance order. The varieties hereafter listed are on hand in limited numbers and will be supplied as long as they 
last to earliest buyers. 
But we close this report with encouraging news: The tulip is not yet down and out. Though no one can tell 
whether the ancient Dutch tulip industry can ever be revived, after the destruction which the Nazi conquerors 
have accomplished, our fine collection of named varieties which thrive under American conditions, is being pre- 
served and when the war ends a rapid expansion of production in this country may be counted upon. The tulip has 
found a new home.
