Our 50th Autumn Catalogue 
THE BULB OUTLOOK FOR FALL 1946 
The varieties of Flower Bulbs for Autumn Plantings which are now commercially produced in America, Eng- 
land, France, and Holland and offered in this Catalog are a much more improved list than those we were able 
to offer in our first catalog issued in the Fall of 1897. Specialists in many parts of the world have developed 
many new and beautiful varieties. We are glad to have participated in this improvement. 
Reports we are receiving from our various producers of American, Dutch, English, and French bulbs indicate 
at this date, July 1, that the crops are very promising and that high-quality bulbs will be obtainable for the 
American gardener this fall. This catalog contains added varieties of bulbs which have not been listed by us 
since 1940, since the principal source of supply up to that time was Holland. Fortunately, we are now able to 
offer Dutch Hyacinths in a good list of varieties of which in the past we were able to get only a limited supply 
from England. The same is true of some of the miscellaneous bulbs, cultures of which did not exist either in England 
or in America. We were fortunate in being able to get French Northern-grown Candidum Lilies which were very 
short in supply during the war. Crocus bulbs, which usually begin the spring-blooming season of bulbs, are now 
obtainable in good quality and in good variety. 
We are also very glad to report that many varieties of Daffodils and Tulips are in greater supply now at prices 
more favorable than those which existed during the past four or five years. 
What some experts said about our green and 
white garden at the International Flower Show 
held at Grand Central Palace, March 1946: 
STUMPP & WALTER COMPANY’S green and 
white garden at the International Flower Show scored 
three of the highest honors ever awarded in any Flower 
Show, to any exhibit of plant material, or any garden. 
The judges on Monday awarded the silver trophy to 
this garden as the best in the four large garden class. 
Later the Chas. H. Totty Memorial committee alsa 
selected this garden as the most worthy of the Totty 
Memorial Medal. This medal is given each year in 
memory of the late Chas. H. Totty. 
On Tuesday, the Garden Club of America awarded 
this garden the Bulkley Gold Medal. This medal is 
awarded on the recommendation of a group of judges 
selected by the Garden Club of America and is separate 
lie ee Club from the teams that judge the International Show.
