We have now been in business in Oregon for twenty-two years and not once 
in all this time have we had enough bulbs of the choicer varieties to fill 
orders. We are expanding our cultures as fast as is commensurate with the 
maintenance of quality. We have no ambitions to be the biggest growers nor 
can we expand fast enough to keep up with the demand. We, therefore, 
urge all our friends and good customers to order early. 
Our prices are based on two very closely related factors: the rate of increase 
of our varieties and the quantities available. We make our own prices and 
set our own grades, regardless of what other growers may do. Our prices are 
the same to all customers under the same conditions. Considering our uncon- 
ditional guarantees as to quality, true-to-name delivery, early shipment of 
fully acclimated, healthy stock, our prices are very reasonable. Remember 
that you do not pay for containers, shippers’ disbursements, etc. Our price 
plus inland freight is all you pay. 
Our bulbs are grown on a fertile, sandy loam which locally is called “shot 
clay”. This land, which was of fine quality to begin with, has patiently been 
improved by covercropping and fertilizing, so that it now ranks among the 
finest in our state. We believe that our bulbs are of the very highest quality and 
we spare no expense to maintain virus-free, healthy stocks. All stock shipped 
out is fumigated with methyl-bromide in order to eliminate insect pests and 
all planting stocks are hot-water treated every other year to prevent possible 
infestations of the narcissus nematode. Consequently, our bulbs are sound 
and firm and exhibit a most unusual keeping quality which makes them ideal 
for store and over-the-counter trade. 
We are glad to book orders for stock to be reserved for shipment at a season- 
able time. We require no deposit or impose no obligation on you to take the 
stock, but only assume, of course, that your reservation order is placed in 
good faith and that you will order from us such part of stock reserved as you 
may actually require in filling your orders. Such reservation orders hold 
good until July 1st and all modifications should be in our hands by then. 
Growing hundreds of varieties of daffodils, iris and lilies, many of them 
exclusively ours, it is obvious that we must stand ready to fill your orders for 
this material in even the smallest quantities. For many gardeners the collect- 
ing of this often rare material is a hobby and we are always happy to assist 
them in it. We ourselves do not accept retail orders, but we shall be glad to 
fill them for our bona-fide customers and usually make no extra charge for 
this service. If, however, a customer should wish us to fill a large number of 
such small orders, then we reserve the right to make an extra charge for con- 
tainers and special service.
