Foreword .... 
As this season approaches, I am inclined to agree with my friend, the late J. D. Long, who wished that he 
were not numbered among those who write catalogues! Certainly, when weather is sO propitious as now, and 
there is much to be done in the garden, it is much easier to work outside than to sit inside endeavoring to write 
something both interesting and instructive for other gardeners. Yet this is the closest approach that I have to 
writing a personal letter to many of you who are customers, or who read this catalogue. It is mid-February and 
we eagerly await another flowering season which usually hits its peak about April 10th, but even now we have 
in bloom a few species, furnishing a prelude to what is to follow. 
Again we tender our thanks to our increasing number of customers and friends, both for your good orders 
and your kind letters. We appreciate your interest and patronage, and only regret that it has not been possible 
to write to each of you who have written us. Being short handed at times, we make errors in filling orders 
occasionally and deem it a favor if you will notify us of such mistakes. 
To simplify matters, we again are reproducing much of the material used in former recent catalogues, 
but have deleted a few varieties and added others. A few new features are incorporated including a classified 
list of varieties, an offering of more miniatures and species, and the introduction of two varieties of Tulips. 
In addition, we are offering several new Daffodils of our own. At the end of our seasonal notes will be found 
information regarding two of our Iris seedlings to be introduced this year. Then we call attention to a listing of 
a few books, and particularly do we emphasize that all Daffodil fanciers should be interested in the newly 
instructions accompany orders.

It is not our aim to list the greatest number of varieties of Daffodils, nor even to list all of the very good 
ones. Some of the older ones can still hold their own, but we intend to discontinue many of these gradually in 
favor of the newer kinds which are not as generally available. It is our desire to offer a comprehensive selection 
of the better varieties and to give as much useful information for making selections as we can. Growing 
We can think of no more enjoyable outdoor hobby than growing flowers, and particularly Daffodils which 
come early in the season when one craves color and beauty. It is our wish that you may all have a fine display 
of Daffodils, and we would suggest that to add a little excitement, grow a few seedlings of your own! 
And narcissi, the fairest among them all, 
Who gaze on their eyes in the stream’s recess, 
Till they die of thetr own dear loveliness.

TERMS 
Please send cash with order, or 25% down and the balance be- 
fore delivery. Prices quoted are prepaid on orders of $3.50 or more 
except as noted. On smaller orders add 25c for postage and pack- 
ing. However, for those willing to pay transportation, we will 
gladly include extra bulbs valued at more than the estimated cost 
of shipping. We can send by express collect, or in the case of 
small orders, send by parcel post and you remit for postage on 
receipt of order. 
On cash orders of $10.00 or more received before August lst, 
except for collections and bulbs priced per 100, we give about 
10% extra in bulbs of our selection. Orders sent later also receive 
extras but we endeavor to be a bit more generous on the early 
orders. These premium bulbs may consist of either named varie- 
ties or some of our selected numbered or named seedlings, to be 
chosen at our discretion, and dependent on available stocks. 
Prices quoted are for good double nose bulbs except for a few 
species that normally do not make many bulbs of this type. If 
sold out of double nose size, we endeavor to give equal or greater 
value in smaller good blooming sizes. We do not price round bulbs 
of novelties since we need these for our propagation. Ordinarily 
we start shipping around the first of September but we advise that 
you PLEASE SEND ORDERS BY SEPTEMBER 1ST IF POSSIBLE.
