WASHINGTON GROWN 
ULB 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 repeated 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 done by the State and Federal departments of 
agriculture is far ahead of anything accomplished abroad. This is strongly emphasized 
in comparing foreign and Washington Grown Daffodils. We must destroy a large per- 
centage 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, D. C., by 
the U. S. Dept. of Agriculture. 
GUARANTEE—AIl1l bulbs are guaranteed true to name, free from disease or pests, 
and to arrive in good condition. If they do not give complete satisfaction, advise me at 
once, and your money will be refunded upon return of the bulbs at my expense. 
PREPAID—AI] prices quoted include delivery by prepaid parcel post or express. 
SHIPMENTS are made starting late August or September 1st, continuing until De- 
cember 1st in normal years. However, for the last several years due to the extreme 
shortage of bulbs now existing in this country everything is sold out quite early in the 
fall. For this reason, we urge you to order early so as not to be disappointed. Orders are 
filled in rotation as received, the earliest orders received are first to be filled. 
SUBSTITUTIONS—We grow a great many varieties of daffodils that our stocks are 
now too small to catalog, due to wartime buying. Should we be out of varieties ordered, 
some of these may be used for substituting unless an X is marked in the space pro- 
vided on the order blank. 
TERMS OF PAYMENT—Remittances may be made with check or money order. 
Stamps accepted in payment of small orders. C.O.D. orders must be discontinued for the 
duration as they take additional time for us as well as postal and express employees and 
also add an unnecessary expense to the cost of your bulbs. Remitting in full at the 
time your order is placed greatly simplifies the keeping of our records. 
KINDLY OMIT ORDERS FOR LESS THAN $2.00 
QUANTITY PRICES, PREPAID—All bulbs listed herein may be purchased by the 
100 for seven times the dozen rate, unless a rate per 100 is quoted. 
25 bulbs of a variety at the 100 rate. 6 bulbs of a variety at the dozen rate. 
BULBS THAT ARE NOT PRICED IN QUANTITIES OF LESS THAN ONE DOZEN 
ARE NOT SOLD IN LOTS OF LESS THAN SIX. SIX AT THE DOZEN RATE. 
NOVELTY DAFFODILS 
Orders for Novelty Daffodils, priced at 75c each or more, should be in my hands 
before October 1st. When ordering these newer Daffodils at a later date, it would be 
well to name a substitute, in case your order could not be filled completely. 
Order early and plant early for fine flowers. September planted Daffodils 
produce much finer flowers than later plantings.
