 Welcome
to Fedco’s 23rd annual cooperative flowerbulb and seed
garlic pre-order.
We offer nearly 300 varieties
of high quality flowerbulbs at low prices. Our bulbs are nursery-propagated
from commercial stock, all topsize except where noted. Larger
bulbs result in larger flowers and more vigorous plants. We
encourage you to compare values, including bulb sizes and
volume discounts.
NEW! this
year: Early-Shipment Items section(#1001-1134,
pp. 7-8) for varieties that need early planting including
bearded iris ‘Batik’, ‘Gypsy Romance’,
and ‘Immortality’; fall-flowering saffron crocus
and colchicum ‘Waterlily’. Regular NEW!
items include Canadian Connection tulip collection and Lily
Flowering tulip mix, amaryllis ‘Pasadena’, paperwhite
‘Inbal’, narcissus ‘White Lion’ and
‘Segovia’, Camassia quamash, and tulips
‘Curly Sue’ and ‘Rococo’. In our quest
to provide larger-than-topsize bulbs, we’ve added exhibition-size
‘Dutch Master’, grown on the U.S. west coast.
BACK! this
year include the Fragrant Narcissus mix and Maine-grown narcissus
‘Mrs. RO Backhouse’, ‘Sara’s Stars’,
‘Foresight’ and ‘Fortune’, as well
as lily-flowering tulip ‘Burgundy’. Remember that
the  ; symbol highlights
especially good values.
Last year we listed a few
“Last chance” items and you responded to each
one nicely. Again your choices will vote for or against a
few items listed within. Unfortunately, we have dropped all
the organic flowerbulbs due to breath-taking price increases.
Go to www.fedcoseeds.com
and click on Fedco Bulbs: Color photos on our website provide
a look beyond the world of words for most of our listings.
You may place your order over the web; 35% of you did last
year for over 40% of our volume.
Fedco Bulbs is a division
of Fedco Seeds, a worker/consumer cooperative. Please let
us know if you’d like our other catalogs. (Trees available
in October; Seeds, supplies and seed potatoes in December.)
We welcome hearing from
you; write to us with your questions, comments and suggestions.
Thank you.
