Greetings

Thank you once again for your fine interest that allows our operation to be possible. We wish to personally express our sincere appreciation for your patronage. The year 2000 is approaching at a rapid rate and we have been intensely involved in organizing our place for the world convention to be held in Portland, Oregon. It is hoped that everyone will experience the same gracious hospitality in 2000, which was present at the 1998 English Daffodil Society Centenary and Northern Ireland tour. American Dream is at the top of our introductions, with its perfection and unique style; Canterbury, an all yellow triandrus hybrid bred from Hilister; Color Magic with its deep yellow perianth and Magician-colored corona; also, Masada with its intense coloration in a red pink split corona. There are new introductions from the Freys, including Pink Hummer, an exceptionally well formed small jonquil with intense pink col- oration. In addition, we are pleased to offer the first from our daughter Christine Havens. Several newer cultivars are available from Jackson Daffodils, Tasmania, Australia. Their cultivars do exceptionally well for us with vigor, good health, heavy substance and durability. In addition to their eminent show flowers from Divisions 1 - 3, we especially note well formed full doubles with strong natural supporting stems. Originations from Mrs. Ben Robertson and Dr. Frank Galyon are includ- ed as well. If your main interest is with garden flowers, please note our expanded Garden Page with new introductions, along with a number which are ideal in terms of health, color, etc. In closing, it is our desire that you have an outstanding growing and showing year and that you may be able to attend the American Daffodil Society National show and convention in Pittsburgh, PA on April 22-24, 1999.

Best wishes,

Richard and Elise Havens

FOR THE NEW CUSTOMER

1. Flower Color - Our descriptions are based on observations of the blooms when they reach maturity as they bloom here. The pre- ceding has involved several years. In many cases, pinks may open a yellow or greenish color. The intensity of the pink color devel- ops with maturity of the bloom. Reverse bi-colors will open with the corona reversing to a white as the bloom matures. Many of the red cups develop their brightness with maturity as well. It is not unusual for a double to require more than one year to adapt to its new habitat and climatic conditions. 2. Prices listed include postage in the United States. 3. Many of you will have interest primarily in garden flowers. Please note Country Garden for additional information on seedling mixtures, collections and newer forms. 4. Bulbs will vary as to their size and genetic make-up (i.e. a large flower does not always produce a large bulb).

WORLD PEACE (Havens) 5Y-Y L 10" (Hillstar x N. triandrus var. triandrus) Y93/3. An especially nicely formed lemon yellow flower with distinctive Division 5 traits. Precisely formed bell shaped corona is a bit lighter than the evenly reflexed broad perianth segments. Two to three per stem. There are many from this cross under observation, ranging from white to yellow, most of exceptional form and possessing light jonquil fragrance. In 1997, it was entered at the show at Longwood Gardens in a Division 5 collection, which won the Purple Ribbon, this seedling winning the Rose Ribbon. To be available in the future. Our hopes and prayers are for World Peace. Pictured on page 19.

POSSIBILITIES FOR INTERMEDIATES

In recent years, there has been growing interest in smaller flowers and a number of shows have special classes to enter intermediates. Following is a list of a number of our originations which we feel may qualify for the intermediate size.

Cool Pink, Coral Springs, Deference, Delightful, Jade, La Traviata, Lemon Honey, Magic Step, New Magic, Pink China, Red Sheen, Scarlet Tanager, Treasure Waltz, Verdant Meadow.

RED PINK SEEDLING COLLECTION-VH2O

Please view color picture of examples on page 14. For many years, the red coloration in daffodils was sought primarily from the orange end. It has been a goal of several years and several generations to develop red through pink breeding. Accent, introduced in 1961 was probably one of the most sig- nificant milestones, for it is in the parentage of most of the truly pink reds of today. Audubon (1965) was probably the first to be classified as a red pink. Cool Flame (1969) and Rubythroat (1973) were introduced and the red pink pursuit was underway. A number more followed and the culmination was Magician; crosses on Magician are being offered currently. Continuing on the quest for color intensity, it seemed logical to cross Pink Valentine, by Pink Flame, (cross number VH2O) and a wide range of intense colors and forms resulted. Many have been selected. Pinkish lavender undertones to tomato red are present and in most cases, the perianths are very white. These flowers would appear to have useful hybridizing potential. Firestar, Rubystar and Ruby Romance had previously been introduced. We would like to offer a collection of four VH2O high quality seedlings again this year. Please note it will be very much the same as in 1998. Each will be selected and labeled individually. In addition, a bulb of Ruby Romance, Firestar or Rubystar (from the same cross) will be included. Please select one of the above 3. If a choice is not made, Ruby Romance will be included.

Division 2 - LARGE - CUPPED - one flower to a stem; corona more than 1/3, but less than equal to the length of the perianth segments. Division 3 - SMALL-CUPPED - one flower to a stem; corona not more than 1/3 the length of the perianth segments. Division 4 - DOUBLES - doubling of the perianth segments or the coro- na or both. Division 5 - TRIANDRUS - usually two or more pendent flowers to a stem; perianth segments reflexed. Division 6 - CYCLAMINEUS - one flower to a stem; perianth segments significantly reflexed, flower at an acute angle to the stem with a very short neck. Division 7 - JONQUILLA - usually one to three flowers to a rounded stem; leaves narrow, dark green; perianth segments spreading or reflexed; flowers usually fragrant. Division 8 - TAZETTA - usually 3-20 flowers to a stout stem; leaves broad; perianth segments spreading not reflexed; flowers fragrant. Division 9 - POETICUS - usually one flower to a stem; perianth segments pure white; corona usually disc- shaped, with a green or yellow center and red rim. Division 10 - BULBOCODIUM - usually one flower to a stem; perianth segments insignif- icant compared with dominant corona. Division 11 - SPLIT-CORONAS - corona split rather than lobed and usually for more than half its length. Division 12 - MISCELLANEOUS - all daffodils not falling into any one of the previous. Division 13 - SPECIES. Classification for daffodils is composed of division number, color of perianth - color of corona.

Over the years of our hybridizing program, the goal of excellence in show flowers has been a high priority. At the same time, color intensity in various combinations, and good health has been a long time goal as well. Seedlings have been hybridized and selected on this basis. The following named cultivars have proven themselves as fine garden flowers. They have been observed for a period of years to substantiate consistency and a number of them are also of exhibition quality. 1999 (Sarbat ;11tttroburtiotts COUNTRY GARDEN (Mitsch) 1999 2W-P.

29 Order Information

Nearly all bulbs sent out are double nose except in the case of miniatures, most of which are rounds. Some tazettas and species hybrids produce primarily rounds as well. If ordering for the first time, please note that bulbs will vary in size as to their variety and genetic makeup. All bulbs are hand cleaned, graded and selected. We are personally involved in growing and caring for all of our bulbs from planting and harvest to order filling and shipping on our Oregon farm. The smallness of our business permits the preceding. All of our bulb offerings are subject to crop.

Each of the col- lections will have an individual Item Number just preceding price as well. 2. Customer Number is on your address label if you have ordered recently. Please hand write it on the order blank or affix the label from your catalog cover onto the order blank. It is especially important to have your correct, current address for bulb shipment. 3.

If there should be a question concerning your order, please do not hesitate to contact us immediately. 8.

Please advise on order blank if we may substitute. If you should have any special instructions, please place on order blank as well. It is most important to us that we respect your wishes. On orders sent after August 1, alter- nate choices should be listed. 9. Order Date: The bulk of the orders are arriving during the spring and early summer, so we encourage early orders to avoid disap- pointment. Orders received by August 1 will include extra bulb at least 10% order value. 10. Shipping Rotation: Bulbs are shipped by Parcel Post and United Parcel Service. We endeavor to send orders in rotation as received with the complete shipping process starting the first week of September. Orders arriving during July through September will have a good chance of being shipped during the month of October, for spring and early summer orders deserve our first attention. 11. Bulb Care: It is our goal to send out good quality bulbs and if upon receipt, they prove otherwise, please notify us immediately. If ordering for the first time or if one is a beginner, please read complete culture sheet when order first arrives for general advisement. Due to the value of the bulbs, every effort to avert disappointment is important.

Gift orders: In recent years, an increasing number of requests to send bulbs as gifts has been received. We are very pleased to do this and will enclose a card with bulbs if desired, indicating they are a gift from you. Each gift order under $20.00, please add $3.00 for handling. Collections and Mixtures are excellent choices for gifts, especially for a new gardening friend. Gift certificates are available. If you wish a catalog sent with the gift certificate, please advise.
