<strong>Brent</strong> <strong>and</strong> Becky’s Daffodil Favorites<br />
We have so many favorites that we couldn’t possibly<br />
put all of them in this collection, but we<br />
chose ten that we think are very special. 10 each<br />
of ‘Marieke’, ‘Accent’, ‘Tahiti’, ‘Petrel’, ‘Jetfire’, ‘Curlew’,<br />
‘Avalanche’, poeticus recurvus, ‘Sun Disc’, <strong>and</strong><br />
‘Hawera’ – 100 bulbs!<br />

Half Pint Collection<br />
There are tons of places to tuck special little<br />
bulbs in the garden - in the pockets of tree trunks;<br />
rock gardens; fronts of borders; along a pathway;<br />
in a raised bed closer to eye level; <strong>and</strong> the list<br />
goes on. We’ve put together a collection just for<br />
this purpose. If you plant them all in the same<br />
area, that special spot will stay colorful for a long<br />
period of time. We suggest that you plant them<br />
where you’ll see them easily. (10 each of C. tommasinianus;<br />
I. hist. ‘George’; N. ‘Hawera’; T. turkestanica;<br />
Ipheion uniflorum; M. armeniacum ‘Blue Spike’) 60 bulbs.<br />
#47-0117 1/$21 2/$38<br />
Shade Garden<br />
Since most spring flowering bulbs grow best in<br />
full sun, we thought it might be helpful to suggest<br />
some that are happy <strong>and</strong> even prefer the shade:<br />
10 Arum italicum; 10 Allium triquetrum; 10 Hyacinthoides<br />
‘White City’; 10 Chionodoxa forbesii; 10 Ornithogalum<br />
nutans; 10 Crocus tommasinianus.<br />

MIXTURES<br />
(Very nice for mixes; possibly unlabeled but always<br />
intentional groupings)<br />
Rhapsody in Blue<br />
Little blue flowers that we adore planting in our<br />
lawn. We plant enough to create a ‘river’ which<br />
me<strong>and</strong>ers <strong>and</strong> flows<br />
from one end of the<br />
yard to the other!<br />
So easy to plant<br />
with a little trowel<br />
<strong>and</strong> the ‘stab–pull–<br />
drop’ method; 50<br />
each of 6 items.<br />
(Remember to cut<br />
the grass at the very<br />
highest setting the<br />
Rhapsody in Blue<br />
to mature so they’ll bloom next year).<br />

Perennial Daffodil Mixture<br />
We think daffodils<br />
are one of the most<br />
cost effective perennial<br />
plants, but some<br />
are more perennial than<br />
others. This mixture,<br />
not of leftovers, but<br />
of up to 25 cultivars<br />
chosen because they<br />
Perennial Daffodil Mixture have been long-term<br />
rebloomers for us in our<br />
trials. #47-0110 100/$72 500/$290<br />
Perennial Tulip Mixture<br />
Some don’t think of<br />
tulips as perennials, but if<br />
they don’t get eaten, some<br />
really are! Even in our zone<br />
7b climate, there are some<br />
that have rebloomed for us<br />
for many years. Different<br />
colors, shapes <strong>and</strong> sizes<br />
for your garden; 25 different<br />
types.<br />

Our Babes (fragrant seedling mix)<br />
We have been hybridizing daffodils for a long time<br />
(spreading pollen <strong>and</strong> helping the development of<br />
new daffodil cultivars).<br />
We were always told we<br />
should never favor one<br />
‘child over another’, but<br />
in the case of our ‘daffodil<br />
children’, we must!<br />
We have selected about<br />
50 of the ‘best of the<br />
best’ to introduce, but SO<br />
many of the others are<br />

Fall crocus are wonderful<br />
garden surprises. The<br />

emerge almost overnight,<br />
adding a new color<br />
dimension to the garden.<br />
Here Fall crocus speciosus<br />
looks fabulous<br />

Daffodils are the most cost effective,<br />
pest-free, long-term perennial plants available <strong>and</strong><br />
make wonderful companions with other bulbs, perennials,<br />
annuals <strong>and</strong> flowering shrubs. They grow<br />
in almost all areas of the United States as long as<br />
there is a discernible winter. They are pest-free<br />
<strong>and</strong> when given ample sunlight, water <strong>and</strong> proper<br />
nutrition, will provide early spring color for many<br />
years. They are divided into 13 divisions according<br />
to their flower shape <strong>and</strong> heritage <strong>and</strong> we have<br />
put the American Daffodil Society’s descriptions<br />
in quotes (“ “) <strong>and</strong> caps at the beginning of each<br />
division. Daffodils should be planted in full sun or<br />
at least ½ day (8 hours) of direct sunlight after<br />
the leaves are on the trees <strong>and</strong> should be planted<br />
3× the height of their bulb deep (3”–8”) in compost<br />

“One flower to a stem; the cup or corona is<br />
as long or longer than the perianth segments (petals<br />
<strong>and</strong> sepals).” Trumpets usually produce larger<br />
bulbs than other divisions; often performs better<br />
in zones 3–7 than in the deep south; most have<br />
gray/green foliage ½”–1” wide <strong>and</strong> supply great<br />
focal impact in flower beds; 4–5 bulbs per sq. ft.;<br />

Rijnveld’s Early<br />
Sensation – although<br />
this two-toned yellow<br />
daffodil wouldn’t win<br />
a ribbon, it has won a<br />
place in our hearts; it<br />
often blooms here in<br />
January when the rest<br />
of the world is brown...<br />
before most others<br />
are even poking out<br />
of the ground; doesn’t<br />
seem to mind a blanket<br />
of snow; easy forcer.<br />
Pistachio – this truly is<br />
the name of this flower;<br />
petals are very soft yellow<br />
with a greenish cast<br />
<strong>and</strong> a white halo; its cup is<br />
white with a yellow edge;<br />
good enough to eat...it<br />
glows! 14”–16”; mid spring.<br />

IMPORTANT<br />
Getting your soil right is probably the most important<br />
<strong>and</strong> most cost effective first step that someone can<br />
take to assure gardening success. We’ve believed in<br />
the importance of adding organic matter to the soil for<br />
many years <strong>and</strong> as each year passes, our belief becomes<br />
stronger. More flowers are produced; plants<br />
are healthier, more lush, taller <strong>and</strong> require less care<br />
<strong>and</strong> water when planted in enriched soil. We sometimes<br />
hear the questions, “My soil is just yucky ole’<br />
clay...that’s okay, isn’t it <strong>Bulbs</strong> grow anywhere....<br />
right” Yes, they may emerge almost anywhere as<br />
long as they get a winter, but they may not flourish!<br />
Our soil is very s<strong>and</strong>y on our farm <strong>and</strong> we constantly<br />
add amendments to try to improve it...or give back to<br />
it since it gives SO much to us! The addition of lots<br />
of well-decomposed compost, leaves, horse manure...<br />
anything that will enrich the soil <strong>and</strong> add unrefined<br />
nutrients is one of the reasons for our gardening successes!<br />

We are often asked how many bulbs should be planted<br />
together to make a good statement <strong>and</strong> the answer<br />
depends on how far away one will be when viewing<br />
that particular garden area. A good rule of thumb is, if<br />
you’re 10’ or closer, 10 bulbs will do; if you’re 50’ away,<br />
you’ll need 50 bulbs; if you’ll be 100’ away, you’ll need<br />
100, etc. Here N. ‘Perfect Lady’ has created a WOW<br />

Although the plant’s genes predetermine its size <strong>and</strong> height, in reality, having your spring flowering bulbs<br />
reach their maximum size <strong>and</strong> height has everything to do with the richness of soil, proper nutrients <strong>and</strong> available<br />
moisture. If bulbs are planted VERY late, they may not have enough time to develop a good root system<br />
<strong>and</strong> are often shorter than usual. However, if sun-loving plants are planted in an area with too much shade, they<br />
may actually stretch to find the sun, making them grow taller than expected.<br />

We speak often about how the color of flowers can be<br />
more or less intense in different climates <strong>and</strong> how the<br />
colors sometimes change during their maturation process<br />
<strong>and</strong> here is a prime example. N. ‘Dreamlight’ as a<br />
young flower is above <strong>and</strong> N. ‘Dreamlight’ as a mature<br />
flower with T. ‘Sweet Love’ at the right. It’s easy to see<br />
that they are the same but changed & equally lovely.→<br />

Interesting gardens can occur when several types of<br />
bulbs, perennials <strong>and</strong> annuals with similar sun/soil/<br />
moisture requirements are combined in the same<br />
flowerbed. It becomes a Layer or Lasagna Garden<br />
when suggested planting depths are variable enough<br />
to make it possible to plant them on top of each other.<br />
With good planning, the flowers can bloom together,<br />
making a mass of color, or sequentially, providing a long<br />
sequence of bloom. Either way, it’s rewarding <strong>and</strong> a<br />
good use of garden space...’the more plant material in<br />
the garden, the less room there is for weeds’!<br />

The Gloucester Daffodil Festival is held each year on the last<br />
weekend in March <strong>and</strong> is such fun. We have thous<strong>and</strong>s of people<br />
attend. In Spring 2009, our son Jay, decided that we needed<br />
to be in the parade. So he volunteered his ‘daffodil yellow golf<br />
cart’, which <strong>Brent</strong> <strong>and</strong> our daughter-in-law, Denise, decorated.<br />
WOW! Look at those pretty daffodils! To see the back of the<br />

We are continually trying to think of small ways we<br />
can keep from filling up our l<strong>and</strong>fills. 1. <strong>Brent</strong> <strong>and</strong><br />
I built our own house out of recycled materials. 2.<br />
The tree trimming company offloads all their chipped<br />
tree limbs here that they used to have to pay to take<br />
to the dump! 3. Our daughter-in-law, Denise, has a<br />
‘Jack-O-rotten’ campaign where people bring in their<br />
used pumpkins to The Bulb Shoppe in exchange for<br />
paper white bulbs. 4. People can also bring in their<br />
leaves in clear leaf bags in exchange for daffodil bulbs<br />
to plant in their garden. We compost the pumpkins<br />
<strong>and</strong> leaves trying to teach the concept of composting<br />
instead of burning the leaves or the tree limbs, which<br />
only mucks up the air! This compost turns into ‘black<br />
gold’, which we then put back in our garden to feed the<br />
soil. This type of small composting operation would<br />
be a wonderful project for a High School Horticultural<br />
program in your community! Let’s all do whatever<br />
we can to help unclutter the l<strong>and</strong>fills! Remember:<br />
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle!<br />

Narcissus/Daffodil - Miniature<br />
MINIATURE DAFFODILS<br />
Not a separate division; those cultivars<br />
whose flowers are about 1” in diameter <strong>and</strong> are<br />
about 6” tall; most but not all are approved by<br />
the American Daffodil Society as being appropriate<br />
for the miniature list; we mention those<br />
that have been deleted from the miniature list.<br />
Whz 4-9 unless noted. (Note: climate, soil <strong>and</strong> site<br />
conditions will sometimes encourage some miniatures<br />
to grow above or<br />
below the normal 6”).<br />
Baby Boomer - division<br />
7, jonquilla; our<br />
very own seedling<br />
(N. ‘Avalanche’ x N.<br />
jonquilla) with 5-10<br />
flowers per stem <strong>and</strong><br />
lots of fragrance to<br />
sweeten up your garden,<br />

mid-late spring. #01-1442 10/$10.90<br />
50/$45.50 100/$83 500/$360 1000/$630<br />
Although N.‘Baby Boomer’ is a miniature daffodil, it can<br />
hold its own with st<strong>and</strong>ard cultivars like another one of our<br />
seedlings, N.’Golden Echo’ <strong>and</strong> their colors work well<br />
together. It’s a shame we don’t have ‘scratch <strong>and</strong> sniff’’<br />
because both of these flowers have a fabulous fragrance<br />
<strong>and</strong> are tough garden perennials.<br />

Intermediate Sized Daffodils<br />
Below is a list of some terrific daffodils that perform<br />
beautifully in the garden, on the show bench <strong>and</strong> in<br />
containers. These are ones that sometimes ‘get lost’ in<br />
the list because they are neither miniatures, which everyone<br />
adores, nor are they st<strong>and</strong>ard in size. If you are one<br />
that exhibits daffodils, just because we list some of these<br />
with the miniatures, please don’t put them in the miniature<br />
section of the show - we’re afraid you’d be disqualified!<br />

Don’t forget to compost your leaves, yard waste <strong>and</strong><br />
kitchen scraps. The compost will feed your soil, your<br />
garden will need less water <strong>and</strong> will reward you for your<br />
efforts. Besides, this activity will be the ‘greener’ way<br />
to garden, which is now ‘trendy’! We’ve always had a<br />
compost pile <strong>and</strong> we’re happy it has now become the<br />
‘thing to do’! It’s a tiny way we can all participate in<br />
replenishing the earth!<br />

The peacocks <strong>and</strong> parrots of the bulb<br />
world, tulips offer more sizes, shapes <strong>and</strong> colors<br />
than you can imagine for any type of garden<br />
design scheme. They are an incredible source of<br />
inexpensive color for the garden. Almost every<br />
color in the spectrum is available except true<br />
blue. Intensity of the colors sometimes varies<br />
according to climate <strong>and</strong> even from one season to<br />
another. Divided into 15 divisions usually depending<br />
on shape, bloom time or heritage. The explanation<br />
<strong>and</strong> description of each division is found<br />
in quotes (“ ”) <strong>and</strong> in caps on the following pages<br />
<strong>and</strong> was taken directly from the Royal General<br />
Bulbgrowers’ Association’s 1996 publication of<br />
the Classified List <strong>and</strong> International Register of<br />
Tulip Names, Johan van Scheepen, editor. Plant<br />
4 × their height deep (8”–10” for regular sized<br />
tulips; 4”–6” for small tulips); bulbs are 12+cm<br />
unless otherwise noted.<br />
Multi-flowering Tulips are not a separate division<br />
of tulips, but because they normally produce more<br />
than one flower to a stem, we think they are very<br />
special in the garden <strong>and</strong> in a vase. This chart is to<br />
help you find them!<br />

Tulip - Triumph<br />
TRIUMPH TULIPS<br />
“Single flowered cultivars, stem of medium<br />
length, midseason flowering. Originally the result<br />
of hybridization between cultivars of the Single<br />
Early Group <strong>and</strong> the Single Late Group.” Widest<br />
range of colors <strong>and</strong> heights; Note: Approximately<br />
10% of all tulips produced are purchased for outdoor<br />
garden use. Since 90% of the market is being<br />
used for pot culture, naturally, that’s also where<br />
most of the hybridizing efforts <strong>and</strong> production<br />
dollars are being spent. ‘Triumph Tulips’ are used<br />
mainly for forcing <strong>and</strong> is, therefore, the largest<br />
group of tulips available; very showy but generally<br />
not as perennial; whz 3-8; most bloom mid spring.<br />
Annie Schilder –<br />
glows with Indian orange<br />
flamed with rose,<br />
<strong>and</strong> a scarlet interior;<br />

If the deer are your particular gardening problem,<br />
we underst<strong>and</strong> that they seem to be deterred by<br />
anything in which their hooves may get tangled. A<br />
folded piece of chicken wire around the edge of your<br />
property or garden may keep them from walking in.<br />
Certain substances that say ‘humans are here’ to<br />
them, like soap or human hair, also may help. Pepper<br />
spray has also been helpful to some, but has to<br />
be reapplied after rains. One of our customers found<br />
where the deer were entering their property <strong>and</strong> set<br />
up a light censor <strong>and</strong> radio to an electrical cord so<br />
when the deer got close, a light <strong>and</strong> the radio came<br />
on. After a year, this is still working! Please share<br />
your solutions so we can pass on the suggestions!<br />

Tulip - Darwin Hybrid<br />
DARWIN HYBRID TULIPS<br />
“single flowered cultivars, long<br />
stemmed, midseason flowering. originally the<br />
result of hybridization between cultivars of the<br />
darwin group with tulip fosteriana <strong>and</strong> the result<br />
of hybridization between other cultivars <strong>and</strong><br />
botanical tulips, which have the same habit <strong>and</strong><br />
in which the wild plant is not evident.” Best for<br />
perennial bedding, cut flowers <strong>and</strong> for companion<br />
planting with other bulbs, perennials <strong>and</strong> annuals;<br />
big <strong>and</strong> bold, the ‘gentle giants of the garden’;<br />
mid spring bloomers that force well; very reliable,<br />

Tulips are wonderful, colorful plants. However, they<br />
are edible. Ropel, Deer-Off or some other bad tasting<br />
substance sprayed <strong>and</strong> allowed to dry on the bulbs before<br />
planting seems to help deter the dreaded vole. Surrounding<br />
the bulbs with sharp, crushed gravel also seems to help.<br />
‘Daffy’ <strong>and</strong> ‘Dilly’, our barn cats, <strong>and</strong> ‘Tux’, my Daddy’s cat,<br />
are our best ‘vole patrol’. I suspect every vole’s taste buds<br />
are as different as ours - so if one thing doesn’t work, try<br />
something else because having tulips in your garden is<br />
worth the effort!<br />

T. ‘Menton’ is an incredible<br />
tulip with varying<br />
shades of pink. Also<br />
depending on where the<br />
flower is during the maturation<br />
process, whether<br />
the sun is out or not <strong>and</strong><br />
if it is shining through the<br />
petals will also determine<br />
the shade of pink. It’s<br />
such fun to see how colors<br />
react to different light.<br />

The Greigii tulip<br />

decorative leaves<br />

create a total garden<br />

can see how much<br />
more noticeable<br />
the tulip’s foliage<br />

T. ‘Toronto’<br />
We think filling<br />
your flowerbed<br />
with plants helps<br />
to keep weeds<br />
under control.<br />
We also talk often<br />
about planting<br />
smaller bulbs<br />
under, around<br />
<strong>and</strong> on top of<br />
larger bulbs to<br />
act as ‘shoes <strong>and</strong><br />
socks’ by covering<br />
the ankles<br />
<strong>and</strong> knees’ of<br />
the larger bulbs.<br />
But here, a tulip<br />
is acting as<br />
the ‘shoes <strong>and</strong><br />
socks’. Here T.<br />
‘Toronto’ sure<br />
makes Leucojum<br />
aestivum<br />

T. ‘Honky Tonk’<br />
A tulip’s native habitat<br />
is in the mountainous<br />
regions of Turkey,<br />
Iran <strong>and</strong> other areas<br />
that are very well<br />
drained <strong>and</strong> where<br />
summer baking <strong>and</strong><br />
dry climates are a<br />
natural occurrence.<br />
Here in our own rock<br />
garden, T. ‘Honky<br />
Tonk’ is planted in<br />
scree (small gravel)<br />
on the side of a southfacing<br />
hill. It is happily<br />
blooming with a<br />
little white daffodil,<br />
N. ‘Toto’, T. clusiana<br />
var. ‘Tubergen’s<br />
Gem’ <strong>and</strong> other miscellaneous<br />
tulips that<br />
prefer a similar environment.<br />
Although the plant’s genes predetermine its size<br />
<strong>and</strong> height, in reality, having your spring flowering bulbs<br />
reach their maximum size <strong>and</strong> height has everything<br />
to do with the richness of soil, proper nutrients <strong>and</strong><br />
available moisture. If bulbs are planted VERY late,<br />
they may not have enough time to develop a good root<br />
system <strong>and</strong> are often shorter than usual. However, if<br />
sun-loving plants are planted in an area with too much<br />
shade, they may actually stretch to find the sun, making<br />
them grow taller than expected.<br />

Most spring flowering bulbs are dormant during the<br />
summer months <strong>and</strong> will perform better if they are not<br />
artificially watered during that time. If you live in an<br />
area where summer downpours are common, planting<br />
summer flowering bulbs, annuals <strong>and</strong> perennials in the<br />
same bed will help utilize the rain. However, during<br />
times of drought when watering becomes necessary,<br />
we think plants are happier if they are watered with drip<br />
irrigation <strong>and</strong> not by an automatic system that sprinkles<br />
everything at 3am everyday whether it’s needed or not!<br />
It feels good to conserve water <strong>and</strong> make the plants<br />
happy at the same time.<br />

Every year, we hear that our wonderful Bay is dying a little<br />
more each year. The government has stepped in to monitor<br />
industries <strong>and</strong> farmers <strong>and</strong> they have ‘cleaned up their act’.<br />
However, we as home gardeners also contribute to the pollution<br />
of the water by over fertilizing <strong>and</strong> using heavy chemicals<br />
on lawns <strong>and</strong> gardens. <strong>Brent</strong> <strong>and</strong> I now use only compost <strong>and</strong><br />
organic supplements but no chemical fertilizers on our property<br />
in hopes that what we do will make some difference. We<br />
encourage all of you to search your hearts <strong>and</strong> look at what<br />
you use to see if, as a group, we can all make a difference<br />
together!<br />

HYACINTHUS ORIENTALIS<br />
Family: Liliaceae<br />
Nickname: Hyacinth<br />
bulb companions: early-mid spring Daffodils <strong>and</strong> Tulips;<br />
Muscari; Anemone; Chinodoxa<br />
other companions: Pansy; Myosotis; Euphorbia; Bellis<br />
Many tubular, slightly reflexed florets<br />
cover the 8”–10” stems making one large flowerhead;<br />
their rigid, uniform structure lends them<br />
for use in geometric designs; available in a myriad<br />
of colors <strong>and</strong> each very fragrant; for bedding <strong>and</strong><br />
forcing; plant where the natural, sweet fragrance,<br />
reminiscent of spring, can be enjoyed; pest resistant;<br />
7”-11” tall; 5 per sq. ft.; whz 4–8; 15/16cm unless<br />
otherwise noted; (we think this is the best size<br />
for bedding without the need for staking). Hyacinthus<br />
often need extra time to dry properly <strong>and</strong> don’t<br />
arrive here until late September. If you have to<br />
have your bulbs early, please be prepared to have<br />
these particular items backordered <strong>and</strong> shipped at<br />

Dutch Iris are one of the best bulbs to use as cut<br />
flowers. There are so many colors from which to<br />
choose, they have long stems <strong>and</strong> they last a long<br />
time. If you plant a few every couple of weeks in<br />
the fall, their bloom time should be extended <strong>and</strong><br />
give you many weeks of fun!<br />

Lily Beetle<br />
We have been asked many times for suggestions on how to<br />
treat organically (without chemicals) the Lily Beetle problem<br />
that some people experience in the northeast. We thank<br />
Carolyn, one of our customers, for sharing her solution with us!<br />
1. Hose the lilies down with water<br />
2. Absolutely cover them with wood ashes, top <strong>and</strong> bottom<br />
of leaves covered<br />
3. Wait 15 minutes<br />
4. Hose off with water<br />
5. Watch, if you see them again, do it again. She used this<br />
treatment twice last year <strong>and</strong> it really worked!<br />
Give it a try <strong>and</strong> let us know how it works for you!<br />

(Please note: These are harvested<br />

early planted garden or sale) The most adored<br />
bulb group in the summer garden, it offers almost<br />
as many color variations as the tulip <strong>and</strong> is also a<br />
great cut flower. Many forms, sizes, heights, <strong>and</strong><br />
bloom times are available. Some upfacing, downfacing<br />
<strong>and</strong> outfacing; planted in the same bed as<br />
daffodils <strong>and</strong> tulips, they extend the spring blooming<br />
season into summer; terrific garden plants as<br />
well as cut flowers; they thrive in full sun as well<br />
as in partial shade <strong>and</strong> in well-drained soil; Asiatics<br />
tend to bloom early summer <strong>and</strong> Orientals bloom<br />
later in the summer; excellent perennial bargain!<br />

Because lilies produce stem roots that act as anchors, they st<strong>and</strong> up taller <strong>and</strong> straighter if they are planted<br />
about 8”-10” deep, giving the stem roots the area they need to secure <strong>and</strong> support the heavy, but beautiful<br />
flower heads. Also, please remember to snip off the stamens when picking your lilies as the pollen grains<br />
may stain your clothes or tablecloths.<br />

We have heard that many of you prefer to plant your perennials<br />
in the spring when you can ‘keep a daily watch’ over them.<br />
However, we think many perennials are just as happy or even<br />
happier being planted in the fall which gives their roots time<br />
to get adjusted to their new home. We underst<strong>and</strong> that it’s a<br />
bit disconcerting to have a perennial ‘disappear’ soon after it’s<br />
planted in the fall, but still think it’s the very best or equally as<br />
good a time for the perennial! Give it a try!<br />

INDOOR BULBS<br />
Although many of the following bulbs may<br />
be winter-hardy in many areas of our country,<br />
most benefit from being planted in the<br />
late spring <strong>and</strong> getting established before<br />
going through a winter. For indoor forcing<br />
projects or for growing outside in whz 8–11.<br />
FREESIA<br />
Family: Iridaceae<br />
You have requested individual colors<br />
instead of mixes, so here they are! Perfect in<br />
the garden in whz 8 or warmer, foliage survives<br />
temperatures in the low 20’s once established,<br />
although that is not a problem with indoor culture;<br />
if used indoors, force in cool greenhouse; the fragrance<br />
is Heavenly. <strong>Bulbs</strong> enjoy a warm summer<br />
dormancy but re-sprout in the fall; 12”-18”; (5+cm).<br />

soil even when dormant;<br />

NARCISSUS PAPER WHITE<br />
Family: Amaryllidaceae<br />
Nickname: Narcissus<br />
Non-hardy tazetta daffodils, these are<br />
the bulbs that can be put in a pot <strong>and</strong> forced without<br />
any cold period...in fact, they should NEVER be<br />
put in the refrigerator! If you can’t pot them up<br />
as soon as you receive them, store them in a warm,<br />
dry place like on top of the refrigerator; 17cm+<br />
unless otherwise noted; culturally, very easy to<br />
grow but their buds may ‘blast’ (never open) if<br />
subjected to a too hot <strong>and</strong> dry environment inside<br />
your home; the heights are variable, depending on<br />
number of ‘light hours’ given. The fewer hours of<br />
light, the taller they will be. (Best rooted at 55–65º;<br />
then keep pots 65º with bottom heat (70º+) to ensure<br />
bloom).<br />

it’s planted in the spring with other summer<br />
bulbs, allowing it the opportunity to become well<br />
established before the cold weather sets in.<br />
Since it is also a most adaptable houseplant as<br />
well, we’ve decided that this is the best section<br />
for these bulbs to be offered for fall planting.<br />
Next spring, after danger of frost, they can then<br />
be transplanted into your garden to enjoy for the<br />
rest of the gardening season. They form lovely<br />
8”–10” mounds of clover–like leaves with 5–petaled<br />
flowers that open wide in the sun; non-invasive,<br />
excellent bedding <strong>and</strong> border plant as well as an<br />
all season, forgiving houseplant; foliage is very attractive<br />
<strong>and</strong> perfect ‘shoes <strong>and</strong> socks’ companion<br />
plant to cover the bare soil around the ankles of all<br />
of your larger indoor potted plants; pest resistant;<br />
sun to shade; topsized bulbs unless noted.<br />
adenophylla – silvery<br />
foliage provides a perfect<br />
background for<br />
the lilac/purple flowers;<br />
one of our favorites<br />
in the garden <strong>and</strong> fills<br />
decorative pots in the<br />
greenhouse <strong>and</strong> on our<br />
porch! (6+cm).<br />

Whether you use our pre-cooled bulbs, the bulbs<br />
in our indoor section or ones that you have potted<br />
<strong>and</strong> given enough cooling to bloom, arranging the<br />
pots as a centerpiece or as another type of festive<br />
decoration not only adds lots of color, the fragrance<br />
of the ‘Living Flower Arrangement’ makes it feel like<br />
springtime indoors! This is our dining room table<br />
where we served a nice meal for our friends while<br />
the flowers fed all our souls! If only we had ‘scratch<br />
<strong>and</strong> sniff’! The bulbs in this picture were from our<br />
pre-cooled section. We just potted them up; put them<br />
in a cool (50°-60°) dark place for 10-14 days to root<br />
well <strong>and</strong> then brought them out in a sunny location<br />
for them to bloom. We really enjoy their color, their<br />
fragrances <strong>and</strong> their happy faces!<br />

All of the Oxalis<br />
can be potted up<br />
<strong>and</strong> enjoyed indoors<br />
all during<br />
the winter. Once<br />
danger of frost<br />
passes, these<br />
s a m e p o t t e d<br />
bulbs can be put<br />
outside on your<br />
deck, steps or patio<br />

all summer. They<br />

PRE-COOLED BULBS FOR<br />
SOUTHERN AND TEMPERATE<br />
LANDSCAPES<br />
For those of you who live in areas where<br />
the absence of cold winters affects the performance<br />
of your spring flowering bulbs, the ones<br />
below may be good choices for your garden. These<br />
are the same bulbs that we’ll ship to everyone else,<br />
except that these will be placed in the cooler in<br />
September when they arrive here in Virginia <strong>and</strong><br />
will stay there until they’re ready to plant about<br />
Dec. 15th or Jan. 15th, depending on whether you<br />
have some winter cold or no winter cold at all.<br />
(For more information on each cultivar, see the<br />
appropriate sections of the catalogue or our web<br />
site). (Please note: If you order these, you must<br />
promise to plant them just as soon as you receive<br />
them because the effect of the pre-chilling diminishes<br />
with each day they are out of the cooler. To be sure<br />
they arrive in good time, there will also be an extra<br />
shipping charge for 2nd Day Air, which can’t be determined<br />
until after weighing <strong>and</strong> shipping <strong>and</strong> will<br />
be billed after shipment. Also, if you live where you<br />
DO receive winter temperatures, please underst<strong>and</strong><br />
that these bulbs either need to be in the ground in<br />
enough time to make roots before the ground freezes<br />
OR they need to be grown in pots where the pots are<br />
NOT exposed to extreme temperatures!)<br />

Pre-cooled <strong>Bulbs</strong> for the Deep South or for Forcing - shipped mid-Dec or mid-Jan only!<br />
Although the pre-cooled l<strong>and</strong>scape bulbs are primarily for warm climate l<strong>and</strong>scaping purposes,<br />
we have had good success using them as forced bulbs in pots by following these very important steps:<br />
1. Upon arrival, upack <strong>and</strong> pot the bulbs immediately...they lose the effect of their pre-cooling very quickly.<br />
2. We fill a pot (with drain holes) 3/4 full of a coarse, soiless media or coarse potting soil.<br />
3. Place bulbs ‘shoulder’ to ‘shoulder’ on top of the media.<br />
4. Surround the bulb’s ‘shoulders’ with gravel or s<strong>and</strong> to help keep the bulbs in place as they develop roots.<br />
5. Water well once <strong>and</strong> place pots in a cool room (50º-60º) for rooting (about 2-3 weeks) continued→<br />

Mid-Winter Living Flower Arrangement<br />
For many years, we have taken our precooled<br />
bulbs <strong>and</strong> potted them up in mid-December,<br />
rooted them <strong>and</strong> brought them out in mid-late January<br />
to enjoy during the rest of the winter. There<br />
have been many requests for us to offer these<br />
‘ready to go’ pots in our catalogue to help others<br />
chase away the ‘winter blahs’! Although the pictures<br />
below show many flowers that are NOT on our<br />
pre-cooled bulbs list on the previous pages, they<br />
are examples of what the pots will resemble when<br />
in bloom. There will be three layers of bulbs planted<br />
in each 10” green plastic pot with either a ‘cool’<br />
theme (white, pink, blue, dark red, purple) or ‘warm’<br />
theme (yellow, orange, warm red, blue). When we<br />
take them out of the cooler in January, they will<br />
be fully rooted <strong>and</strong> ready to ship to you. Upon receipt,<br />
place the pot in a sunny, warm location, water<br />
<strong>and</strong> enjoy watching them come up <strong>and</strong> bloom in 2-3<br />
weeks. These pots will ONLY be sent out in January.<br />
If you live west of the Mississippi River, they<br />
will have to be shipped 3 Day Select to be SURE<br />
they arrive in good shape. Please choose either a<br />
‘warm’ or ‘cool’ theme. Price includes shipping! Enjoy!<br />

6. When the pot is full of roots <strong>and</strong> tops begin to emerge, bring out into light <strong>and</strong> a warm room; water<br />
every 2 days, or when the soil feels dry.<br />
7. For best results, place on a 70º heat mat <strong>and</strong> 1’ under florescent or ‘Grow Lights’ to keep them from<br />
getting too tall <strong>and</strong> flopping over.<br />
8. When the blooms are finished, keep growing <strong>and</strong> bulbs may be placed in a vacant spot in the garden<br />
after danger of hard freeze.<br />
9. <strong>Bulbs</strong> started in December should be able to be in bud or in bloom in about 4 - 6 weeks.<br />

In the 70’s <strong>and</strong> 80’s, <strong>Brent</strong> <strong>and</strong> I picked daffodils<br />
on our farm, sold them by the box <strong>and</strong> shipped<br />
them overnight to those who wanted something<br />
special <strong>and</strong> different. We were only growing<br />
daffodils at the time, but we were growing about<br />
3000 different types, so the boxes were amazingly<br />
beautiful. When we made the decision to<br />
open our farm <strong>and</strong> home gardens for tours, we<br />
stopped picking <strong>and</strong> selling the flowers, because,<br />
if we picked the flowers, there wouldn’t be as<br />
much for the visitors to see when they came<br />
for the garden tour. Now we have additional<br />
property <strong>and</strong> have added additional gardens on<br />
the farm. Since the 70’s, we have added to the<br />
palette, many more types of plant material that<br />
give us beautiful flowers. We’ve been sharing them<br />
with neighbors <strong>and</strong> friends, but there are almost<br />
always many more! Someone suggested that<br />
Heather picking tulips from a cut flower field behind our<br />
warehouse for the Bulb Shoppe’s flower cooler!<br />
So, what are you getting for this Stem thicknesses<br />
<strong>and</strong> flower heads are SO diverse in the<br />
garden flowers, that it’s difficult to say. (i.e. Alliums<br />
versus Dutch Iris; Lilies versus Crocosmias)<br />
When the stems are bound together, you will have<br />
a BIG h<strong>and</strong> full of flower stems! (AT LEAST the<br />
circumference of a baseball). We feel confident<br />
that you’ll enjoy them!<br />
others may enjoy having field grown flowers for<br />
their corporate gifts, their office, home, spouse<br />
or friend. So we’re offering you the opportunity<br />
to order fresh, farm raised mixed bouquets from<br />
March 15th - October 15th. At this moment, we<br />
can’t tell you what colors will be in bloom on any<br />
given day, but we would love to know your preference<br />
(pastel; hot colors; patriotic) <strong>and</strong> we will<br />
do our best to honor your request. If there is a<br />
Possible springtime<br />
selections with lots of<br />
different daffodils<br />
Possible late spring/early<br />
summer selections; eremurus,<br />

too. We’ll give you a call if the weather doesn’t<br />
cooperate. As gardeners, you know we are ruled<br />
by ‘Mother Nature’ so keep that in mind. These<br />
will NOT be ‘greenhouse flowers’! They will be<br />
organically grown. We will use NO pesticides or<br />
chemicals so you’ll be able to put your nose right<br />
in the bouquet <strong>and</strong> enjoy the fragrance without<br />

Rich Earth Finally a mineral rich humate soil,<br />
which contains over 70 trace minerals, is available<br />
to help you grow stronger, healthier plants <strong>and</strong><br />

product! By adding 16<br />
oz. to 100 sq. feet of soil, you<br />
can breathe new life into your<br />

plant matter decomposes, peat<br />
is created first, then humate,<br />
lignite <strong>and</strong>, eventually coal. Rich<br />
Earth is humate, a collection<br />
of three acids ‘ Humic Acids<br />
(45%) enable plants to extract<br />
nutrients from the soil; Ulmic<br />
Acids which stimulates <strong>and</strong><br />
increases root formation <strong>and</strong><br />
growth <strong>and</strong> Fulvic Acids (14%) which gives plants<br />
strength to withst<strong>and</strong> stresses caused by pests,<br />
dry weather <strong>and</strong> cutting. It also helps aerate the<br />

<strong>Brent</strong> <strong>and</strong> Becky’s <strong>Bulbs</strong> Planting Stake<br />
Believe it or not, most bulbs <strong>and</strong> plants<br />
are very forgiving as far as planting depth<br />
is concerned. However, this is a great tool<br />
for those of you who like to double check<br />
the depth ‘to the bottom of the hole’; for<br />
our zone 7b garden, so if you’re in a much<br />
colder area, perhaps a bit deeper; in a<br />
much warmer area, perhaps not as deep.<br />
On the backside of the planting stake is<br />
a list of the bulbs <strong>and</strong> the proper planting<br />
depth...to the bottom of the hole! It’s a<br />
great tool for the office as well; yellow so<br />
it’s difficult to loose; vinyl so it’s difficult<br />
to break!<br />

Great Bulb Gardening Gloves<br />
We do enjoy gardening, but have such a hard<br />
time getting our fingernails clean<br />
when we have to dress up <strong>and</strong> go<br />
out in public. Wearing gloves has<br />
been difficult because we couldn’t<br />
find ones that allowed us to feel<br />
the plants. Also, my h<strong>and</strong>s are so<br />
small that I normally have to buy<br />
gloves in the children’s department!<br />
All that has changed since<br />
we’ve found these yellow <strong>and</strong> green<br />
ones. They’re not water proof,<br />
but do keep our nails cleaner than<br />
any we’ve tried <strong>and</strong> you can even feel the plants!<br />
Machine washable, but air dry. Specify small,<br />

Rite in the Rain® - I found these a couple of<br />
years ago <strong>and</strong> gave some to <strong>Brent</strong><br />
as a gift. He loves them <strong>and</strong> uses<br />
them everyday! When you’re a<br />
gardener, a little mist or rain<br />
doesn’t keep you out of your garden<br />
<strong>and</strong> invariably, you need to write<br />
something down...a ‘cross’ or a note<br />
about a particular<br />
plant. He uses<br />
them in Holl<strong>and</strong><br />
where they are<br />
extremely useful as it rains<br />
there a lot. This is a special<br />
paper that sheds water, enabling<br />
you to write whatever you want<br />
right in the rain - or if you leave<br />
it out in the rain, it will be just<br />
fine! Just use a #2 pencil or the<br />
all weather pen!<br />

We live right on a tributary of the Chesapeake Bay.<br />
Every year, we hear that our wonderful Bay is dying a little<br />
more each year. The government has stepped in to monitor<br />
industries <strong>and</strong> farmers <strong>and</strong> they have ‘cleaned up their act’.<br />
However, we as home gardeners also contribute to the pollution<br />
of the water by over fertilizing <strong>and</strong> using heavy chemicals<br />
on lawns <strong>and</strong> gardens. <strong>Brent</strong> <strong>and</strong> I now use only compost <strong>and</strong><br />
organic supplements but no chemical fertilizers on our property<br />
in hopes that what we do will make some difference. We<br />
encourage all of you to search your hearts <strong>and</strong> look at what<br />
you use to see if, as a group, we can all make a difference<br />
together!<br />
