OREGON BULB FARMS, SANDY, OREGON 3 

To Our Friends and Customers: 
It is with great pleasure that we present herewith our complete catalog of the 
finest Holland and Oregon grown bulbs. It has been six long years since we have had 
the pleasure of supplying you with our supreme quality tulips, hyacinths, crocus and 
other bulbs from Holland. Conditions there are still far from settled and important 
changes both in the price structure as well as in the currency valuation may occur from 
time to time. For this reason we would like you to consider all prices on imported bulbs 
as tentative only. From time to time we intend to issue special lists and we assure our 
customers that at all times they will have the benefit of competitive prices. 
In order to facilitate and expedite the handling of your orders and correspondence all 
communications, orders and inquiries should be addressed to the OREGON BULB 
FARMS at Sandy, Oregon. Orders for foreign bulbs will be cabled at our expense to 
Holland. Holland bulbs will be assembled in carload lots so that our customers receive 
the benefit of the best possible freight rates and service. 
A complete descriptive list of our unsurpassed collection of fine daffodils will be found 
in the domestic bulb section of this catalog. In our experience the fully acclimated, 
healthy and well-cured domestic daffodils, iris and lilies are better suited to the exacting 
demands of our customers and their clients than imported bulbs. Early delivery can be 
made and we will continue to use the small tray crates which have been so well received 
by the trade. Our variety selection has been made with the utmost care and represents, 
without any doubt, the best that can be offered anywhere in the world. 
All worthwhile new daffodil varieties from abroad are tested by us in our trial 
plantings and a representative group of the best that Holland can offer will be on 
display. Our customers and their clients are cordiallv invited to view these trials and if 
they should find meritorious varieties that they would like to add to their offerings, 
then we will be very glad to import such stocks for them. We stand ready to furnish 
strictly competitive quotations on all Dutch daffodils and will again feature the full 
line of the famous de Graaff introductions. 
Your special attention is drawn to the lily offerings in this catalog. We have greatly 
increased our plantings of lily hybrids and have many new types coming along that will 
be cf tremendous importance as soon as sufficient stocks have accumulated. The entirely 
new type of Lilium Candidum and the improved Centifolum hybrids are the outstanding 
novelties for the 1946 season. 
Sincerely yours, 
JAN DE GRAAFF, President.
