GREETINGS—to each and every one of you. With this little catalog we are passing our third milestone. In May of 
last year my daughter Norma Jeanne and I moved to Coos Bay, which is 18 miles nearer the coast than we were at Coquille. 
Coos Bay is a fast-growing little seaport city where we found friendly people, improved shipping facilities, and better land in 
which to grow our precious bulbs. 
We grew and tested many varieties new to us, but of these only a small per cent will be grown and catalogued, the 
rest will be put in a super deluxe mixture, as many are new and expensive varieties, but they are too similar to other fine 
Daffodils. 
You will note that we are using the new and revised system for the classification of all Narcissus, effective January 1 
1950, and which should be used for all Daffodil shows this coming spring. .
