NOTES ABOUT BULB SIZE, QUALITY 
AND PRICE 
First of all, we wish to re-state the fact that LAGO Brand 
Bulbs are “All-American” . bulbs that equal in every 
way, and often surpass Holland bulbs in Quality. 
From the largest bulb plantings in the Pacific Northwest, 
we select ONLY THE TOP SIZE BULBS for your gar- 
den. We do not sell any foreign bulbs, which sometimes 
arrive in this country in a diseased condition. Because we 
do not know what condition imported bulbs might be in 
GROWN BULBS that we can be sure of . . 
the American bulb crop. 
. the pick of 
All bulbs are graded and priced according to size. The 
larger and more perfect bulbs naturally sell at higher prices 
in the bulb market than do the smaller ones. Naturally. 
too, the larger bulbs will produce the finest blooms in your 
garden. When you see lower prices quoted, you may be 
sure these bulbs are a smaller grade than the bulbs we ship. 
Note the tulip bulbs pictured below. Here are three stand 
ard sizes, 12 cm and up, 11 cm and 10 cm. Most tulip varie- 
ties will produce bulbs of 12 cm and up, although a few 
when they reach us, WE SELL ONLY AMERICAN- varieties never make this size.

The heautijui CROFT Lilies 
For the first time the previously rare Croft Lily Bulbs are now available to the home 
gardener. You've admired Crofts many times in florist’s windows—enjoy their regal 
beauty this year in your own homes and gardens. 
Croft Lilies are dazzling white, wide mouthed trumpet flowers, with sharply contrasting 
yellow stamens. Their slender forms and shiny dark green leaves, as well as their exciting 
fragrance, distinguish them from all other flowers. 
Plant Croft bulbs, depending upon the severity of the climate, any time between September 
and March. They blossom in late spring or summer, and will bear an average of four 
blooms. Frost will not injure the plants. 
Croft Lilies are among the hardiest of all lilies and may be 
easily and successfully grown in any type of climate. LARGE 
In sections with mild winters, plant these bulbs any time BULBS C 
after September. They will withstand any number of frosts 
and will blossom in the Spring. Place the bulbs in the ground 
about four inches deep and at least four inches apart.

Grow them in the garden, in window boxes, or 
in pots for indoor decoration 
Grow them in pots, window boxes, gardens, and as borders for walks or lawns. Pick out 
a sunny spot and keep the soil (preferably a loose loam, acid type) well fertilized and moist. 
They should be placed in the soil about four inches deep, from three to four inches apart, 
with the roots down. 
If they are in a garden, keep the soil moist and the plants free from weeds. 
In extremely cold climates plant the bulbs in the ground about eight inches deep if you are 
planting them in the Fall. It is also advisable to protect your Crofts with a layer of straw 
during the most severe winter months. 
However, if you wish to plant these bulbs in March or April in the colder climates, they 
will bloom during August and September. 
Whether Crofts are grown as potted plants, in window boxes or flower gardens, the bulb 
should be planted in a well fertilized, loose loam, acid type of soil. 
Select a sunny spot for your Croft garden or window box and keep the soil moist.
