FORWARD 
Catalogue season is again at hand and it is with pleasure that we greet all our 
old customers and prospective new ones. We thank you for your patronage and 
trust that you get as much enjoyment from your Daffodils as we do from ours. 
We also wish to express our appreciation for the kind letters received. 
Our bulb business comes “of age” with this our twenty-first annual catalogue 
and it is our endeavor to make it as interesting and instructive as possible. Aids 
to the selection of varieties and growing of the bulbs are given along with excerpts 
from classical poetry pertaining to our favorite flower. An attempt has been 
made to include both the standard varieties desired by average gardeners and 
fanciers together with a wide selection of the finest recently imported novelties 
which will appea! to the confirmed enthusiast and collector, whether his interest 
lies primarily in growing for his own enjoyment, for exhibition, or for hybridizing. 
For those belonging to the latter category particularly, the inclusion of some of 
the finer novelties in his collection is essential for finest results. The world’s 
leading Daffodil growing countries have been scoured to obtain as fine a collection 
as possible. Varieties listed represent the output of treland, England, Scotland, Holland, Australia, and New 
Zealand as well as some American originations. 
The increased range of color, and the refinements in form and texture of many of the new things must be seen to 
be appreciated. Some of the newest introductions have not been grown here sufficiently long to become acclimated 
and in such cases we have had to rely on originators’ descriptions to some extent. Obviously this necessitated the 
omission of some fine things from the groupings on page 7. We may lament the fact that Daffodils do not have a 
greater range in color than they have but new shades are continually being added, and to compensate for any defi- 
ciency here, they have a quality of character quite lacking in many more colorful flower families. And they do 
give us quite an infinite variety of size, form, texture, and tonal variation in the colors common to them. There is 
an indescribable charm about them that defies analyses and all the encomiums or panegyrics with which we might 
seek to eulogize our favorites would be only a plethera of words. 

E-LEEN AND ELSIE IN THE DAFFODILS 
OREGON GROWN BULBS 
While many other types of bulbs can be well grown over a large portion of America, we believe that the North- 
west is particularly suited to the growing of quality Daffodil bulbs. Moreover, we believe that those grown here are 
equal and in many respects much superior to some of the imported bulbs. Our mild damp winters and comparatively 
dry summers are well suited to growing and curing the crop. 
VISITORS 
Visitors are welcome to our gardens during Daffodil season except on Sundays pine we are closed to business.

A thing of beauty is a joy forever; 
Its loveliness increases; it will never 
Pass into nothingness; .. 
. and such are Daffodils, 
With the green world they live in. Y
