Gentlemen: 
This retail offer, printed by us, as last year, for a group of our 
country’s leading horticulturalists, was just delivered to me and I take 
pleasure in submitting an advance copy to you. While the main press 
run is sold, i ordered a small additional quantity and, as long as the 
supply lasts, I can furnish them to you without order blanks or over- 
rinting at the special rate of $10.00 per 100, prepaid. No orders, please, 
for less than 10 copies. 
To avoid any misunderstanding, please note that the Oregon Bulb 
Farms sells at WHOLESALE ONLY. All retail inquiries and orders are 
referred to their nearest dealer. Because of this policy we must look to 
you to promote and handle the sale of our introductions. We welcome all 
bona-fide trade orders, large or small. May I suggest that you order 
some extra copies of this lily broadside for store or nursery display and 
to mail to special customers or your local garden clubs? 
The current year will be a banner one for lily sales and interest. 
Many of the garden magazines are devoting special attention to them 
and will have lily color plates, covers and color advertisements. There 
will be several shows (an important one in Cleveland, Ohio) and field 
days. The attention of all gardeners will be focused on lilies and you are 
bound to receive your share of the inquiries and orders. I have 75 acres 
planted to hybrid lilies — the finest and largest stocks in the world. 
I hope to have the privilege of filling your orders. 
Sincerely yours, 
Yau de Graaf, Owner
