Our Specialty— Daffodils por Naturalizing 
Dear Friends and Gardeners: 
Were your bulb gardens and naturalized plantings of daffodils 
beautiful this spring? We are sure they were though some of you in 
the Northeast may have had some early blooms nipped by the freak 
frosts. 
We bulb enthusiasts plan for next spring many months ahead, and 
| am sure you are planning now to have some new types and varieties 
of bulbs as well as larger plantings. 
At River's Edge we think there is no hobby quite as much fun as 
growing daffodils. Although there is year-round work in maintaining 
our twenty acres of daffodils in first-class condition, we enjoy our 
flowers and watch each individual variety open in the spring with 
great interest. 
We are grateful for the pleasant and interesting letters many of 
you have written us about your success in growing and naturalizing 
our daffodils. Daffodils from River's Edge have been used to beautify 
many a vacant lot in town as well as to give the effect of beautiful 
spring wildflowers in ‘‘naturalized’’ plantings on hillsides, in meadows, 
by lakes, or in light woods. 
Sincerely, 
(MRS.) SELINA L. HOPKINS. 

WE PREPAY ALL CHARGES on all bulbs, including our bushel and 
peck offers, to all points EAST OF THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER. 
CUSTOMERS LIVING WEST OF THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER will please 
add ten per cent to our prices for DAFFODILS to help with transpor- 
tation charges. (This is necessary because daffodil bulbs are heavy, 
and the cost of transporting them is quite high.) Tulips and all other 
bulbs will be sent any place in this country postpaid. 
MINIMUM ORDERS: One-half bushel may be bought at the bushel 
rate. Six or more bulbs may be bought at the dozen rate and 25 
bulbs at the 100 rate. 
GUARANTEE: Our bulbs are guaranteed to reach you in first-class 
condition. Packages should be opened at once on arrival and ex- 
amined. Any molded bulbs reported within 10 days of receipt will be 
replaced free of charge. 
PRICE LIST: If you do not intend to plant bulbs this year, you will 
do us and one of your friends a favor by passing this list on to 
another gardener. 
WHEN TO PLANT ALL BULBS: Daffodils may be planted from Sept. 
1 to Nov. 15 or until freezing weather sets in, but early planting Is 
an advantage to them. Oct. 1 is early enough to start planting 
tulips, iris, crocus, hyacinths, and minor bulbs, and these also may 
be planted up until time for the ground to freeze. In order to insure 
that a good selection of bulbs will still be available you should 
place your order as early as possible however. 


DELIVERY: We start to fill our accumulated orders of daffodil bulbs 
about September 1. The tulips, crocus, hyacinths, and minor bulbs 
which we are offering for sale are Holland-grown. Orders for them 
will be filled as soon as possible after we receive our shipment from 
Holland, which should be by October 1. 
DEPTH TO PLANT: Daffodils and hyacinths base 6 or 7 in. deep; 
tulips 4 in.; crocus and minor bulbs 3 in. deep. 
COMPLETE CULTURAL INSTRUCTIONS will be inclosed in each 
order. Bulbs are easy to grow and will reward you richly for your 
effort. 
LABELING VARIETIES. All varieties sold individually or in collections 
are separately packaged and labeled. Varieties sold in mixtures are 
not separated.
