OREGON BULB FARMS 
GRESHAM, OREGON 
Order Early We have now been in business in Oregon for twenty-three 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. 
Prices 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 unconditional 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 con- 
tainers, shippers’ disbursements, etc. Our price plus inland freight is all you pay. 
Quality 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. 
Reservations We are glad to book orders for stock to be reserved for shipment at a seasonable 
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. 
Small Orders 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 collecting of this often 
rare material is a hobbyand 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 custo- 
mer should wish to fill a large number of such small orders, then we reserve the 
right to make an extra charge for containers and special service.
