DAFFODIL PATH 
ODE TO OREGON 
It is not raining rain to me, 
It’s raining Daffodils; 
In every dimpled drop I see 
My flowers on yonder hills. 
GREETINGS—to each of you, especially loyal old friends, the new friends we’ve made and to the ones we hope to eall 
good friends. Our progress has been slow, with many obstacles to overcome, up to date, the growing of daffodil bulbs has been 
mainly a labor of love. Wie have again grown many new varieties, most of them we liked and have catalogued and now 
submit them to you for your approval. 
The hybridizers do not rest on their laurels, for they are constantly bringing forth new forms and colors to intrigue us, 
such, as the Mrs. Backhouse seedlings, an endless array of shades from pale salmon to deep pure pinks and all shades in 
between. Also a wonderful lot of new lemon trumpets and large cupped seedlings to tempt us. 
SIMPLE CULTURAL DIRECTIONS FOR GROWING FINE DAFFODILS 
First of all, order good bulbs, early, and in most cases they should be planted as soon as received, for the bulbs are 
only dormant for about six weeks. Daffodils are among the easiest of all flowers to grow and with almost no up-keep, but 
they do have some requirements, such as spading your soil deeply, work in bonemeal, with some potash added, or in some 
cases, if the soil is heavy, spade in compost or old, old barnyard fertilizer. The greatest need is water and plenty of it 
during their growing period, all during the winter and spring the beds should be soaked regularly if rain has not been plentiful. 
Bulbs such as the large trumpets should be planted from 5 to 6 inches from the top of the soil, smaller -bulbs less deep in 
proportion. These may be left in the same location from four to six years, but they should be top-dressed regularly once and 
twice is best, with fertilizer. Foliage should not be pulled up until it begins to die down, then pull it and rake over the bed 
well in order to fill the holes left by the stems. We like to plant daffodils in clumps among peonies, back of German iris, 
among the roses and in front of shrubbery. In fact, PLANT DAFFODILS ANYWHERE, just so you plant them.
