OREGON BULB] FARMS, SANDY, OREGON 
ey) 

To Our Friends and Customers: 
It is with great pleasure that we present herewith our 1947 catalog, the most com- 
plete listing of daffodils and other bulbs ever issued by our firm. Again, we have included 
a very comprehensive collection of the best tulips and hyacinths, as well as of miscellaneous 
bulbs, that our growers in Holland can offer. In daffodils and lilies we have, however, 
limited our offerings to only Oregon grown stock as in our experience these fully accli- 
mated, healthy and well-cured bulbs are best suited to the exacting demands of our 
customers and their clients. | 
On all Oregon grown stock we can guarantee early delivery. We shall continue to 
use the small tray crates that have been so well received in the past. Our variety selec- 
tion of both daffodils and lilies has been greatly expanded and many entirely new varie- 
ties and strains are now being offered by us. Many of our introductions have received 
national attention and we trust that the favorable publicity we have received will result 
in additional sales for our customers. 
Our business here is strictly and exclusively wholesale. We do not solicit or accept 
orders from private gardeners, garden clubs, landscape architects or florists, except when 
bulbs are bought for bona fide trade purposes and for re-sale only. It is only through 
strict adherence to this policy that we can give our ful! attention to the production of 
quality bulbs and we do not expect to deviate from it. 
Our trial grounds are always open to interested visitors. From April first to October 
first a continuous display is being maintained and members of our staff are available 
at all times to conduct visitors through our extensive grounds. Now that travel restric- 
tions are lifted we are looking forward to your visit. 
Sincerely yours, 
JAN DE GRAAFF, President
