Greetings to all gardeners,
I'm glad to welcome you to my listing of daffodils and other Massachusetts grown specialty bulbs for sale in 2008. We’re especially excited about the addition of four Colchicums to our repertoire; many more will be available next year. In fact, we are now growing so many bulbs that are best sent to you and planted in late August (besides Colchicums, there are Galanthus, Anemones, Sanguinaria, Muscari, and soon Leucojum vernum), that the 2009 catalog will have a special order form for them. These are plants that hate to be out of the ground for any length of time, and after cleaning and grading are either replanted right away or stored in just slightly dampened peat moss awaiting early dispatch. Lots of Bill Pannill daffodils new to the catalog this year too - some are first time releases. Plus, the third time offering of Camassia ‘Electra’, a bulb still grown and supplied only by us here in the U.S.
We can’t state that what we sell are organically grown flower bulbs, as we would need official certification to do so, but we feel it’s time to let people know the treatments we use for any insect and fungal problems are all acceptable in organic programs. Items that flourish for growers because of chemical protections, but then languish for gardeners who choose not to use harsh treatments, are not items I want to produce. Even some of the varieties that have received awards as meritorious garden plants have proven themselves difficult in every locale I’ve grown them in the Northeast, so always feel free to ask us about varieties we don’t list - we’ll tell you why. As always, good bulbs of good varieties are the objective. Thanks and enjoy!

The main headings sort the offerings by floral color, and under these headings they are then grouped according to blooming season. Within each seasonal grouping, the variety listed first would generally be the one from that bunch that opens first, with the others following in order (as experienced in our fields).
