COLLECTIONS AND MIXES 

The items on these two pages are to help those who are having trouble making up their minds; OR for those who 

don’t care what the names of the flowers are but do care about the color scheme of the garden; OR for those who 

like a mixture of flowers; OR for those who do not have time to read this catalogue. We hope if you fall into one 

of the categories above, that you’ll find something that appeals to you here! Happy planting!

COLLECTIONS 

(Each item is bagged separately and labeled) 

When one item in a collection becomes 

unavailable, we reserve the right to give you an 

alternate that is similar. 

�Brent and Becky’s Daffodil Favorites 

We have so many favorites that we couldn’t possibly 

put all of them in this collection, but we chose ten that 

we think are very special. 5 each of ‘Marieke’, ‘accent’, ‘tahiti’, 

‘Petrel’, ‘Jetfire’, ‘curlew’, ‘avalanche’, Poeticus recurvus, 

‘sun Disc’, anD ‘hawera’ – 50 bulbs! 

#47-0101 1/$50.90 

Half Pint Collection 

There are tons of places to tuck special little bulbs in 

the garden - in the pockets of tree trunks; rock gardens; 

fronts of borders; along a pathway; in a raised bed closer 

to eye level; and the list goes on. We’ve put together a 

collection just for this purpose. If you plant them all in 

the same area, that special spot will stay colorful for a 

long period of time. We suggest that you plant them 

where you’ll see them easily. (10 each of c. tommasinianus; 

i. hist. ‘george’; n. ‘hawera’; t. turkestanica; iPheion 

uniFlorum; m. armeniacum ‘Blue sPike’) 60 bulbs. 

#47-0117 1/$24.40 2/$45 

Shade Garden 

Since most spring flowering bulbs grow best in full sun, 

we thought it might be helpful to suggest some that are 

happy and even prefer the shade: 

5 arum italicum; 10 allium triquetrum; 5 hyacinthoides 

‘white city’; 10 chionodoxa ForBesii; 10 ornithogalum 

nutans; 10 crocus tommasinianus.

MIXTURES 

(Very nice for mixes; possibly unlabeled but always 

intentional groupings) 

Rhapsody in Blue 

Little blue flowers that we adore planting in our lawn. 

We plant enough to create a ‘river’ which meanders and 

flows from one end of the yard to the other! So easy to 

plant with a little trowel 

and the ‘stab–pull– 

drop’ method; 10 each 

of 6 items, fills ~15-20 

sq. ft. (Remember to 

cut the grass at the 

very highest setting 

the first few times to 

allow the bulb’s foliage 

to mature so they’ll 

bloom next year). 

Rhapsody in Blue #47-0105 1/$24.50 

Combination Gardens create wonderful scenes 

in the garden with different textures, colors, forms 

and bloom times. If you can’t find what you’re 

looking for on these pages, please go to our web 

site, click on the Spring/Fall catalogue and then 

select HELP and then SEARCH&BULBFINDER. You 

can choose a color, bloom time, or height and 

many other parameters that will help you create 

your very own combination garden! 

Perennial Daffodil Mixture 

We think daffodils are one 

of the most cost effective 

perennial plants, but some 

are more perennial than 

others. This mixture, not 

of leftovers, but of up to 25 

cultivars chosen because 

they have been long-term 

rebloomers for us in our 

Perennial Daffodil Mixture trials; fills ~ 25 sq. ft.. 

#47-0110 100/$72 500/$290 

Perennial Tulip Mixture 

Some do not think of tulips 

as perennials, but if they don’t 

get eaten, some really are! 

Even in our zone 7b climate, 

there are some that have rebloomed 

for us for many years. 

Different colors, shapes and 

sizes for your garden; 25 different 

types filling ~25 sq. ft..

Cool Harmony Mix 

Our Babes (fragrant seedling mix) 

We have been hybridizing daffodils for a long time (spreading 

pollen and helping the development of new daffodil 

cultivars). We were always told we should never favor one 

‘child over another’, but in the case of our ‘daffodil children’, 

we must! We have selected 

about 50 of the ‘best of the 

best’ to introduce, but SO 

many of the others are still 

beautiful flowers and wonderful 

growers - too good to 

discard! So rather than throw 

them away, we are offering 

them here as a seedling mix. 

There will be many lovely 

surprises for you to discover!

Spectrum Fragrant Mix 

A group of excellent 

growers who call 

themselves ‘Spectrum’ 

have been licensed to 

grow our introduced 

daffodil hybrids. Because 

of popular demand 

in Europe, Spectrum 

has created a mix 

Spectrum Fragrant Mix 

of our fragrant hybrids 

including spicy, fruity, 

and sweet scents in a spectrum of whites, yellows, oranges, 

reds and pinks. We know you will enjoy them in your garden 

and arrangements; fills ~ 25 sq. ft..

Many of you 

have asked 

about ‘Van’ 

our youngest 

grandson, so 

we wanted 

you to see this 

picture that 

was taken last 

Easter in our 

garden. He 

loves digging 

in the dirt and 

is especially 

happy when he 

finds a worm 

and sees a bird 

or a butterfly!

Daffodils are the most cost effective, pest-free, 

long-term perennial plants available and make wonderful 

companions with other bulbs, perennials, annuals 

and flowering shrubs. They grow in almost all areas of 

the United States as long as there is a discernible winter. 

They are pest-free and when given ample sunlight, water 

and proper nutrition, will provide early spring color for 

many years. They are divided into 13 divisions according 

to their flower shape and heritage and we have put the 

American Daffodil Society’s descriptions in quotes (“ “) 

and caps at the beginning of each division. Daffodils 

should be planted in full sun or at least ½ day (8 hours) 

of direct sunlight after the leaves are on the trees and 

should be planted 3× the height of their bulb deep 

(3”–8”) in compost enriched soil.

We have added this symbol next to the appropriate daffodils that have been awarded the Wister Award. 

It is an award given by the American Daffodil Society to cultivars that are good growers, with many bloom 

stalks and are terrific performers under various climatic conditions. This is also a daffodil that is of show 

quality, although the emphasis is on garden performance. 

We have also added this symbol next to the appropriate daffodils that have been awarded the Pannill Award. 

It is an award given by the American Daffodil Society to an American hybridizer to recognize a named standard 

daffodil which has demonstrated winning show qualities for a minimum of 5 years after being registered.

southeast; great for rock 

gardens, forced in pots 

and in patio containers;

N.’Topolino’ 

is not quite 

as large as 

some of the 

other trumpet 

daffodils, but 

it sure looks 

‘spiffy’ in

‘Spring Beauty’ 

(p. 83). Just 

remember, 

small does not 

mean weak!

N. ‘Primeur’ 

� Rijnveld’s Early 

Sensation – although 

this two-toned yellow 

daffodil wouldn’t win 

a ribbon, it has won a 

place in our hearts; it 

often blooms here in 

January when the rest 

of the world is brown... 

before most others are 

even poking out of the 

ground; doesn’t seem 

to mind a blanket of 

snow; easy forcer.

N. ‘Topolino’ 

N. ‘Tropical Sunset’ 

The ‘glow factor’ 

of N. ‘Tropical 

Sunset’ in the 

garden is one 

that will certainly 

draw the crowd. 

There aren’t many 

orange-cupped 

trumpet daffodils 

and this one is a 

terrific performer! 

The white flowers 

of Muscari aucheri 

‘White Magic’ 

(p. 80) help to give 

it a ‘carpet’ on 

which to perform. 

N. ‘Wena’ 

York Minster – colorful, 

55 mph flower that can 

be seen from a distance; 

over-lapping perianth 

segments and smooth 

texture will make it a winner

N. ‘Ambergate’ 

N.’Ambergate’ is registered 

as one with orange 

petals and an orange 

cup. Here in Tidewater 

Virginia where springtime 

can be hot and dry, 

the petals are sometimes 

more dark gold 

than orange. However, 

when the weather is cool 

and moist, the colors are 

much more intense. If 

you live in an area that 

may get too hot for this 

to have really good color, 

you may want to plant it 

where it is shaded from 

the hot afternoon sun. 


Bella Vista - a very colorful, 

eye-catching flower

Many ‘pink cupped’ daffodils open with a yellow 

cup that develops the pinkish coloration as it 

matures. Also, many white daffodils often open 

with yellow in the cup and develop to all white as 

they mature. Just like people and good wine, 

they often get ‘better as they age’!

Interesting gardens can occur when several types of 

bulbs, perennials and annuals with similar sun/soil/ 

moisture requirements are combined in the same 

flowerbed. It becomes a Layer or Lasagna Garden when 

suggested planting depths are variable enough to make 

it possible to plant them on top of each other. With good 

planning, the flowers can bloom together, making a mass 

of color, or sequentially, providing a long sequence of 

bloom. Either way, it’s rewarding and a good use of 

garden space...’the more plant material in the garden, 

the less room there is for weeds’!

garden will need less water and will reward you for your efforts. Besides, this activity will be the ‘greener’ way

Some of those ‘daughter bulbs’ bloom after the mother 

bulb blooms, which helps that particular flower stay in 

bloom longer.

Although the plant’s genes predetermine its size and height, in reality, having your spring flowering bulbs 

reach their maximum size and height has everything to do with the richness of soil, proper nutrients and 

available moisture. If bulbs are planted VERY late, they may not have enough time to develop a good root 

system and are often shorter than usual. However, if sun-loving plants are planted in an area with too much 

shade, they may actually stretch to find the sun, making them grow taller than expected.

We are continually trying to think of small ways 

we can keep from filling up our landfills. 

1. Brent and I built our own house out of recycled 

materials. 

2. The tree trimming company offloads all their 

chipped tree limbs here that they used to have 

to pay to take to the dump! 

3. Our daughter-in-law, Denise, has a ‘Jack- 

O-Rotten’ campaign where people bring in 

their used pumpkins to The Bulb Shoppe in 

exchange for paper white bulbs. 

4. People can also bring in their leaves in 

clear leaf bags. We compost the pumpkins 

and leaves trying to teach the concept of composting 

instead of burning the leaves or the 

tree limbs, which only mucks up the air! This 

compost turns into ‘black gold’, which we then 

put back in our garden to feed the soil. This 

type of small composting operation would be 

a wonderful project for a High School Horticultural 

program in your community! Let’s all do 

whatever we can to help unclutter the landfills! 

Remember: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle! 

MINIATURE DAFFODILS 

Not a separate division; those cultivars whose 

flowers are about 1” in diameter and are about 6” tall;

Society as being appropriate for the miniature list; we 

mention those that have been deleted from the miniature

and site conditions will sometimes encourage some 

miniatures to grow above or below the normal 6”).

The peacocks and parrots of the bulb world, 

tulips offer more sizes, shapes and colors than you can 

imagine for any type of garden design scheme. They are 

an incredible source of inexpensive color for the garden. 

Almost every color in the spectrum is available except 

true blue. Intensity of the colors sometimes varies according 

to climate and even from one season to another. 

Divided into 15 divisions usually depending on shape, 

bloom time or heritage. The explanation and description 

of each division is found in quotes (“ ”) and in caps 

on the following pages and was taken directly from the 

Royal General Bulbgrowers’ Association’s 1996 publication 

of the Classified List and International Register of 

Tulip Names, Johan van Scheepen, editor. Plant 4 × their 

height deep (8”–10” for regular sized tulips; 4”–6” for 

small tulips); bulbs are 12+cm unless otherwise noted. 

Join us on Thursday nights at 8pm for “Tete-a-Tete”, a live 

weekly podcast with Brent and/or Becky Heath and host, 

Jay Hutchins. You may talk with us live via telephone or 

via computer and/or download the show to listen to at a

10% of all tulips produced are purchased for 

outdoor garden use. Since 90% of the market is being 

used for pot culture, naturally, that’s also where most of 

the hybridizing efforts and production dollars are being 

spent. ‘Triumph Tulips’ are used mainly for forcing and 

is, therefore, the largest group of tulips available; very 

showy but generally not as perennial; whz 3-8; most

beauty and such fun to 

watch the maturation 

process! 

T. ‘Yellow Present’ 

If the deer are your particular gardening 

problem, we understand that they seem to be 

deterred by anything in which their hooves may 

get tangled. A folded piece of chicken wire 

around the edge of your property or garden may 

keep them from walking in. Certain substances 

that say ‘humans are here’ to them, like soap 

or human hair, also may help. Pepper spray 

has also been helpful to some, but has to be 

reapplied after rains. One of our customers 

found where the deer were entering their 

property and set up a light censor and radio to 

an electrical cord so when the deer got close, a 

light and the radio came on. After a year, this is 

still working! Please share your solutions so we 

can pass on the suggestions!

We are often asked how many bulbs should be planted 

together to make a good statement and the answer 

depends on how far away one will be when viewing that 

particular garden area. A good rule of thumb is, if you are 

10’ or closer, 10 bulbs will do; if you are 50’ away, you’ll 

need 50 bulbs; if you’ll be 100’ away, you’ll need 100 bulbs, 

etc. Here T. ‘Big Chief’, one of the strongest and most 

perennial tulips we’ve grown sure makes quite a statement 

in the garden and is ‘drop-dead-gorgeous’!

T. Darwin Hybrid Mixture 

Tulips are wonderful, colorful plants. However, they 

are edible. Ropel, Deer-Off or some other bad tasting 

substance sprayed and allowed to dry on the bulbs 

before planting seems to help deter the dreaded vole. 

Surrounding the bulbs with sharp, crushed gravel 

also seems to help. ‘Daffy’ and ‘Dilly’, our barn cats, 

and ‘Tux’, my Daddy’s cat, are our best ‘vole patrol’. I 

suspect every vole’s taste buds are as different as ours - 

so if one thing doesn’t work, try something else because 

having tulips in your garden is worth the effort!

in the garden. Here 

it is combined with N.

T. ‘Hocus Pocus’ 

I love the duet between T. ‘Hocus Pocus’ and N. ‘Manly’ (pg. 16)! 

Most spring flowering bulbs are dormant during the 

summer months and will perform better if they are not 

artificially watered during that time. If you live in an 

area where summer downpours are common, planting 

summer flowering bulbs, annuals and perennials in the 

same bed will help utilize the rain. However, during 

times of drought when watering becomes necessary, 

we think plants are happier if they are watered with drip 

irrigation and not by an automatic system that sprinkles 

everything at 3am everyday whether it’s needed or not! 

It feels good to conserve water and make the plants 

happy at the same time. 

T. ‘Kingsblood’

better in the garden

gardeners from 

across the garden to 

investigate.

IMPORTANT 

Getting your soil right is probably the most important and 

most cost effective first step that someone can take to 

assure gardening success. We’ve believed in the importance 

of adding organic matter to the soil for many years 

and as each year passes, our belief becomes stronger. 

More flowers are produced; plants are healthier, more 

lush, taller and require less care and water when planted 

in enriched soil. We sometimes hear the questions, “My 

soil is just yucky ole’ clay...that’s okay, isn’t it? Bulbs 

grow anywhere...right?” Yes, they may emerge almost 

anywhere as long as they get a winter, but they may not 

flourish! Our soil is very sandy on our farm and we constantly 

add amendments to try to improve it...or give back 

to it since it gives SO much to us! The addition of lots of 

well-decomposed compost, leaves, horse manure...anything 

that will enrich the soil and add unrefined nutrients 

T. ‘Maytime’ 

is one of the reasons for our gardening successes!

It is normal for tulips to 

open when the sun is 

out and close at night 

and at least be partially 

closed on cloudy days. 

Each type of miscellaneous 

tulip has its own 

characteristics and they 

are especially apparent 

when they are fully 

opened. Here, T. clusiana 

var. chrysantha 

opens wide showing a 

totally yellow interior and 

looks especially lovely 

with Muscari ‘Valerie 

Finnis’ (pg. 81).

One question that we 

hear often is, ‘Which 

tulip will tolerate 

shade’? Of course, 

our response is, ‘Tulips 

grow best in full sun’, 

which is true. But 

T. sylvestris is one 

that honestly doesn’t 

seem to mind being 

in the shade. It’s not 

quite as large as the 

standard types but 

isn’t as short as some 

of the miscellaneous. 

It’s worth a try!

Anemone blanda ‘Violet Star’ 

Anemone coronaria bicolor 

Most spring flowering bulbs are dormant during the summer months and will perform better if they are not 

artificially watered during that time. If you live in an area where summer downpours are common, planting 

summer flowering bulbs, annuals and perennials in the same bed will help utilize the rain. However, during times 

of drought when watering becomes necessary, we think plants are happier if they are watered with drip irrigation 

and not by an automatic system that sprinkles everything at 3am everyday whether it’s needed or not! It feels 

good to conserve water and make the plants happy at the same time.

� Although the plant’s genes predetermine its size 

and height, in reality, having your spring flowering 

bulbs reach their maximum size and height has 

everything to do with the richness of soil, proper 

nutrients and available moisture. If bulbs are 

planted VERY late, they may not have enough 

time to develop a good root system and are often 

shorter than usual. However, if sun-loving plants are 

planted in an area with too much shade, they may 

actually stretch to find the sun, making them grow 

taller than expected.

� Our Guarantee 

Camassia quamash 

All of the bulbs in this catalogue are nursery 

propagated. We guarantee that the bulbs you receive 

from us will arrive in good condition; if not, please 

let us know right away! Some of the bulbs in this 

catalogue are more difficult to grow than others, each 

having their own specific requirements, which we have 

tried to specify. Because there are endless possible 

garden and climatic conditions in this vast wonderful 

country, we CANNOT guarantee their success in your 

garden. If you are successful at choosing a suitable 

site for your bulbs and they bloom, we guarantee your 

bulb’s flowers will bloom true to name. We plant trials 

of the same bulbs here on our farm. We will contact 

you to discuss replacements or a refund if we find any 

mistakes, which rarely happens, we’re happy to say. 

We wish you much success, lots of flowers and many 

happy days filled with smiles!

Leuc. aest. ‘Gravetye Giant’ 

If you have been 

to our farm and 

home gardens in 

the springtime in 

the last few years, 

chances are you 

have seen this 

planting. In a low 

boggie area down 

on the edge of our 

pond where the 

soil is heavy and 

moist, Leucojum 

aestivum and Leucojum 

aestivum 

‘Gravetye Giant’ 

are happily perennializing 

among a 

mass of ranunculus. 

Leucojum is 

one of few bulbs 

that don’t seem to 

mind damp areas. 

Hints for Planting Lilies Successfully 

� Because lilies produce stem roots that act as anchors, 

they stand up taller and straighter if they are 

planted about 8”-10” deep, giving the stem roots the 

area they need to secure and support the heavy, but 

beautiful flower heads. Also, please remember to snip 

off the stamens when picking your lilies as the pollen 

grains may stain your clothes or tablecloths.

(Please note: These are harvested late and 

therefore will not arrive here until October, so please 

do NOT include these in an early planted garden 

or sale) The most adored bulb group in the summer 

garden, it offers almost as many color variations as the 

tulip and is also a great cut flower. Many forms, sizes, 

heights, and bloom times are available. Some upfacing, 

downfacing and outfacing; planted in the same bed as 

daffodils and tulips, they extend the spring blooming 

season into summer; terrific garden plants as well as 

cut flowers; they thrive in full sun as well as in partial 

shade and in well-drained soil; Asiatics tend to bloom 

early summer and Orientals bloom later in the summer; 

excellent perennial bargain! (16+cm bulbs unless otherwise 

noted); 2-3 per sq. ft.; 2’-3’; whz 3-10. (Hint: When 

using lilies as cut flowers, snip off the anthers at the 

end of the stamens as they may stain tablecloths 

and clothing.)

We have been asked many times for suggestions on 

how to treat organically (without chemicals) the Lily

northeast. We thank Carolyn, one of our customers, 

for sharing her solution with us!

If your order is shipped and you call after it is 

in the hands of either FedEx or UPS, it is still sometimes 

possible to redirect it to another location, if necessary. 

However, it is incredibly expensive and unfortunately, 

we have to pass that expense on to you!

COZY COMPANIONS 

We are not perennial growers, but we have been using 

all types of plant material in our gardens with bulbs and 

have recommended doing so for over 20 years! We have 

friends who grow the following plants in the U.S. and 

have offered them to us for our catalogue. Most will 

take a season or two to get established. We find it easy 

to plug them in with planted bulbs to form shoes and 

socks, carpets and plant combinations. We’re sure you’ll 

enjoy them in your garden, especially when you see how 

they extend and expand your blooming season! Deep 

plugs (2 1/4” x ~4”) unless otherwise noted.

We have heard that many of you prefer to plant your 

perennials in the spring when you can ‘keep a daily 

watch’ over them. However, we think many perennials 

are just as happy or even happier being planted in the 

fall which gives their roots time to get adjusted to their 

new home. We understand that it’s a bit disconcerting 

to have a perennial ‘disappear’ soon after it’s planted in 

the fall, but still think it’s the very best or equally as good 

a time for the perennial! Give it a try!

NARCISSUS PAPER WHITE 


Nickname: Narcissus 

Non-hardy tazetta daffodils, these are the 

bulbs that can be put in a pot and forced without any 

cold period...in fact, they should NEVER be put in the refrigerator! 

If you can’t pot them up as soon as you receive 

them, store them in a warm, dry place like on top of the 

refrigerator; 17cm+ unless otherwise noted; culturally, 

very easy to grow but their buds may ‘blast’ (never open) 

if subjected to a too hot and dry environment inside your 

home; the heights are variable, depending on number 

of ‘light hours’ given. The fewer hours of light, the taller 

they will be. (Best rooted at 55–65º; then keep pots 

65º with bottom heat (70º+) to ensure bloom).

OXALIS 

Family: Oxalidaceae 

Nickname: Shamrock or Wood Sorrel 

Although Oxalis is a great garden plant, we 

find that it survives our winters better when it’s planted 

in the spring with other summer bulbs, allowing it the 

opportunity to become well established before the 

cold weather sets in. Since it is also a most adaptable 

houseplant as well, we’ve decided that this is the best 

section for these bulbs to be offered for fall planting. 

Next spring, after danger of frost, they can then be 

transplanted into your garden to enjoy for the rest of the 

gardening season. They form lovely 8”–10” mounds of 

clover–like leaves with 5–petaled flowers that open wide 

in the sun; non-invasive, excellent bedding and border 

plant as well as an all season, forgiving houseplant; 

foliage is very attractive and perfect ‘shoes and socks’ 

companion plant to cover the bare soil around the ankles 

of all of your larger indoor potted plants; pest resistant; 

sun to shade; topsized bulbs unless noted. 

adenophylla – silvery 

foliage provides a perfect 

background for the lilac/ 

purple flowers; one of our 

favorites in the garden 

and fills decorative pots

arranging the pots as a centerpiece or as another 

type of festive decoration not only adds lots of color, 

the fragrance of the ‘Living Flower Arrangement’ 

makes it feel like springtime indoors! This is our dining 

room table where we served a nice meal for our 

friends while the flowers fed all our souls! If only we 

had ‘scratch and sniff’! The bulbs in this picture were 

from our pre-cooled section. We just potted them up; 

put them in a cool (50°-60°) dark place for 10-14 days 

to root well and then brought them out in a sunny location 

for them to bloom. We really enjoy their color, 

their fragrances and their happy faces!

PRE-COOLED BULBS FOR 

SOUTHERN AND TEMPERATE 

LANDSCAPES 

For those of you who live in areas where the 

absence of cold winters affects the performance of your 

spring flowering bulbs, the ones below may be good 

choices for your garden. These are the same bulbs that 

we’ll ship to everyone else, except that these will be 

placed in the cooler in September when they arrive here 

in Virginia and will stay there until they’re ready to plant 

about Dec. 15th or Jan. 15th, depending on whether 

you have some winter cold or no winter cold at all. (For 

more information on each cultivar, see the appropriate 

sections of the catalogue or our web site). (Please note: 

If you order these, you must promise to plant them 

just as soon as you receive them because the effect 

of the pre-chilling diminishes with each day they are 

out of the cooler. To be sure they arrive in good 

time, there will also be an extra shipping charge for 

2nd Day Air, which can’t be determined until after 

weighing and shipping and will be billed after shipment. 

Also, if you live where you DO receive winter 

temperatures, please understand that these bulbs 

either need to be in the ground in enough time to 

make roots before the ground freezes OR they need 

to be grown in pots where the pots are NOT exposed 

to extreme temperatures!)

Pre-cooled Bulbs for the Deep South or for Forcing - shipped mid-Dec or mid-Jan only! 

Although the pre-cooled landscape bulbs are primarily for warm climate landscaping purposes, we have had 

good success using them as forced bulbs in pots by following these very important steps: 

1. Upon arrival, upack and pot the bulbs immediately...they lose the effect of their pre-cooling very quickly. 

2. We fill a pot (with drain holes) 3/4 full of a coarse, soiless media or coarse potting soil. 

3. Place bulbs ‘shoulder’ to ‘shoulder’ on top of the media. 

4. Surround the bulb’s ‘shoulders’ with gravel or sand to help keep the bulbs in place as they develop roots. 

5. Water well once and place pots in a cool room (50º-60º) for rooting (about 2-3 weeks) continued→

Mid-Winter Living Flower Arrangement 

For many years, we have taken our precooled 

bulbs and potted them up in mid-December, 

rooted them and brought them out in mid-late January 

to enjoy during the rest of the winter. There have 

been many requests for us to offer these ‘ready to go’ 

pots in our catalogue to help others chase away the 

‘winter blahs’! Although the pictures below show 

many flowers that are NOT on our pre-cooled bulbs 

list on the previous pages, they are examples of what 

the pots will resemble when in bloom. There will be 

three layers of bulbs planted in each 10” green plastic 

pot with either a ‘cool’ theme (white, pink, blue, dark 

red, purple) or ‘warm’ theme (yellow, orange, warm red, 

blue). When we take them out of the cooler in January, 

they will be fully rooted and ready to ship to you. Upon 

receipt, place the pot in a sunny, warm location, water 

and enjoy watching them come up and bloom in 2-3 

weeks. These pots will ONLY be sent out in January. If 

you live west of the Mississippi River, they will have 

to be shipped 3 Day Select to be SURE they arrive 

in good shape. Please choose either a ‘warm’ or ‘cool’ 

theme. Price includes shipping! Enjoy!

6. When the pot is full of roots and tops begin to emerge, bring out into light and a warm room; water every 2 days, or 

when the soil feels dry. 

7. For best results, place on a 70º heat mat and 1’ under florescent or ‘Grow Lights’ to keep them from getting too tall 

and flopping over. 

8. When the blooms are finished, keep growing and bulbs may be placed in a vacant spot in the garden after danger 

of hard freeze. 

9. Bulbs started in December should be able to be in bud or in bloom in about 4 - 6 weeks.

�BRENT AND BECKY’S BOUQUETS 

Fresh from the Farm: Flowers of the season For Any Reason 

In the 70’s and 80’s, Brent and I picked daffodils 

on our farm, sold them by the box and shipped them 

overnight to those who wanted something special and 

different. We were only growing daffodils at the time, 

but we were growing about 3000 different types, so the 

boxes were amazingly beautiful. When we made the 

decision to open our farm and home gardens for tours, 

we stopped picking and selling the flowers, because, if 

we picked the flowers, there wouldn’t be as much for 

the visitors to see when they came for the garden tour. 

Now we have additional property and have added additional 

gardens on the farm. Since the 70’s, we have 

added to the palette, many more types of plant material 

that give us beautiful flowers. We’ve been sharing them 

with neighbors and friends, but there are almost always 

many more! Someone suggested that others may enjoy 

having field grown flowers for their corporate gifts, their 

office, home, spouse or friend. So we’re offering you the 

opportunity to order fresh, farm raised mixed bouquets 

from March 15th - October 15th. At this moment, we 

can’t tell you what colors will be in bloom on any given 

day, but we would love to know your preference (pastel; 

hot colors; patriotic) and we will do our best to honor 

your request. If there is a color you just can’t abide, we’d 

like to know that, too. We’ll give you a call if the weather 

doesn’t cooperate. As gardeners, you know we are ruled 

by ‘Mother Nature’ so keep that in mind. These will NOT 

be ‘greenhouse flowers’! They will be organically grown. 

We will use NO pesticides or chemicals so you’ll be able 

to put your nose right in the bouquet and enjoy the 

fragrance without worries! (Unless you have allergies, 

which you’ll have to deal with!) We are excited to offer 

you the choice of a mixed bouquet with or without a 

vase. These will be shipped overnight, (otherwise, they 

don’t guarantee delivery the very next day!) so PLEASE 

give us a very specific physical address and the telephone 

number of the person receiving it just in case 

someone needs to call for directions. (Price includes 

shipping)

So, what are you getting for this? Stem thicknesses and 

flower heads are SO diverse in the garden flowers, that 

it’s difficult to say. (i.e. Alliums versus Dutch Iris; Lilies 

versus Crocosmias) When the stems are bound together, 

you will have a BIG hand full of flower stems! (AT LEAST 

the circumference of a baseball). We feel confident that 

you’ll enjoy them!

Brent and Becky’s Bulbs Planting Stake 

Believe it or not, most bulbs and plants are very 

forgiving as far as planting depth is concerned. 

However, this is a great tool for those of you who 

like to double check the depth ‘to the bottom 

of the hole’; for our zone 7b garden, so if you’re 

in a much colder area, perhaps a bit deeper; in 

a much warmer area, perhaps not as deep. On 

the backside of the planting stake is a list of 

the bulbs and the proper planting depth...to 

the bottom of the hole! It’s a great tool for the 

office as well; yellow so it’s difficult to loose; 

vinyl so it’s difficult to break!

Bug Button 

A button that you pin on your clothing, hat or other 

fabric; repels mosquitoes, bees, flies, 

gnats, and many other annoying 

flying pests. Each button is individually 

wrapped and is not activated 

until the package is opened. Once 

opened, they are effective for up 

to 72 hours; pleasant citronella fragrance; 

no spray, just button and go!

Rich Earth - Finally a mineral rich humate soil, which 

contains over 70 trace minerals, is available to help you 

grow stronger, healthier plants and flowers and it’s a 

natural, non-chemical product! By adding 16 oz. to 100 

sq. feet of soil, you can breathe new life into your garden. 

‘What is humate’? As plant matter 

decomposes, peat is created first, 

then humate, lignite and, eventually 

coal. Rich Earth is humate, 

a collection of three acids, Humic 

Acids (45%) enable plants to extract 

nutrients from the soil, Ulmic Acids 

which stimulates and increases 

root formation and growth and Fulvic 

Acids (14%) which gives plants 

strength to withstand stresses 

caused by pests, dry weather and 

cutting. It also helps aerate the soil 

and improves water retention. Mix 

or till in 1 lb. to 100 sq. ft. of soil.

Vita-Grow - This is the rich compost that we use to pot 

up all of our tropical plants and bulbs to either grow 

in our greenhouse or in our display pots. It’s basically 

comprised of composted peanut hulls, composted pine 

bark and composted cotton seed hulls. It is reputed to 

be the most bio-active media available and we have 

been thrilled with the quality of our plants and bulbs 

that have been grown in it; locally sourced ingredients 

and earth friendly. (shipped in a bulb crate) 32 qt.

Great Bulb Gardening Gloves 

We do enjoy gardening, but have such 

a hard time getting our fingernails clean 

when we have to dress up and go out in 

public. Wearing gloves has been difficult 

because we couldn’t find ones that 

allowed us to feel the plants. Also, my 

hands are so small that I normally have 

to buy gloves in the children’s department! 

All that has changed since we’ve 

found these yellow and green ones. 

They’re not water proof, but do keep 

our nails cleaner than any we’ve tried 

and you can even feel the plants! Machine washable, 

but air dry. Specify small, medium or large. 

#48-0114 Small $7 pair 

#48-0115 Medium $7 pair 

#48-0116 Large $7 pair 

Sleeks - a different type of glove but equally wonderful; 

lightweight nylon, 

dipped in the new hightech 

tough nitrile; has a 

‘barely-there feel’! Perfect 

for when it’s hot outside 

but you still don’t want 

dirt crammed under your 

fingernails permanently! 

Please choose either aqua, 

blue, green, magenta, 

orange or purple.

Rite in the Rain® - I found these a couple of years ago 

and gave some to Brent as a gift. He loves them and 

uses them everyday! When you’re a 

gardener, a little mist or rain doesn’t keep 

you out of your garden and invariably, 

you need to write something down...a 

‘cross’ or a note about 

a particular plant. He 

uses them in Holland 

where they are extremely 

useful as it 

rains there a lot. This 

is a special paper that sheds water, 

enabling you to write whatever you 

want right in the rain - or if you leave it 

out in the rain, it will be just fine! Just 

use a #2 pencil or the all 

weather pen!

small perennial plugs; stainless

We live right on a tributary of the Chesapeake Bay. Every year, we hear that our wonderful Bay is dying a little more 

each year. The government has stepped in to monitor industries and farmers and they have ‘cleaned up their act’. However, 

we as home gardeners also contribute to the pollution of the water by over fertilizing and using heavy chemicals on lawns and 

gardens. Brent and I now use only compost and organic supplements but no chemical fertilizers on our property in hopes that 

what we do will make some difference. We encourage all of you to search your hearts and look at what you use to see if, as a 

group, we can all make a difference together!
