In our fifty-second year of business, we take pleasure in pre- 
senting this catalog of fall bulbs—and seeds. A new departure— 
that of inciuding seasonable seeds in this catalog, but it seemed to 
us it should be helpful in enabling you to place orders earlier. We 
suggest the advisability of doing that promptly; also with your bulb 
orders. The serious floods in Oregon have wiped out some plantings 
—our growers fortunately escaped—but it means a lesser quantity 
to be available. 
Croft Lilies have proven their worth—both for Easter pot plants 
and for cut flowers from cold storage. The crop is not as large as 
last year. Nothing to lose—everything to gain—by ordering now. 
We suggest on items which may be short in Tulips, Hyacinths, 
Daffodils—permitting us to substitute if necessary with others near- 
est in size and similar in color. Needless to say if price declines 
before delivery date—you will be given the benefit. 
We appreciate your confidence in these fifty-two years and shall 
most earnestly endeavor to warrant it in the future. 

LILIUM CROFT 
Our “Special Selected Strain’’ grown in Oregon. 
Unquestionably the finest Lily for Pots and for Cut Flowers
