I know not which I love the most, nor which the comeliest shows,

the timid, bashful Violet or the royal-hearted Rose:

the Pansy in her purple dress, the Pink with cheek of red,

or the faint, fair Cyclamen, who hangs like a bashful maid her head.

Ladies and Gentlemen, With great pleasure we present our new season's Bulb

Catalogue listing items available for dispatch from January 11th until early April, 1993.

At Glenbrook, we are continuing our efforts to grow and make available to gardeners many of the finest cool climate bulbs in cultivation. This presents us with a huge challenge and a continuous fascination in the art of bulb growing. Many of you will be interested in "what's going on here" so we are including a report on "News from Glenbrook" later in the Catalogue.

MAIL ORDERS: We handle all orders personally and can assure customers of our best attention when handling Mail Orders as well as those being personally collected by customers. We have a huge amount of work to do in a short space of time so please allow 3 to 4 weeks from the date of posting your order before expecting your parcel to arrive.

For parcels to be forwarded in the mail please use the following chart.

within Tasmania $4.00

to Victoria $5.00

other States $6.00

Given the rarity of many of the items we are offering we would very much appreciate receiving your order as soon as possible. Inevitably many items will sell out quickly, but we try our utmost not to disappoint any of our customers.

It has been a great pleasure to have many of you visit Glenbrook at some stage this past year. For the next three years we will be continuing to organise the Glenbrook garden. Hopefully by 1995 we may be pretty well established.

Very best wishes to you all for a Merry Christmas, and Happy Gardening in 1993.

When receiving your parcel of bulbs from us please check to see that everything is in good condition. We will gladly replace anything which does not arrive in excellent condition, but storing is up to you. As mentioned earlier, some of our bulbs are quite expensive. We will do everything possible to help you succeed with them, but we cannot grow them for you. If you have doubts about any growing requirements please ask.

With the development of our interest in Lilium culture we are helping organize a Southern Tasmanian Lily Show for Saturday and Sunday, 9th and 10th January, 1993. The venue for this event will be Claremont House (the old Lady Clark Hospital) Main Road, Claremont with the Show open to the public 1.00pm till 5.00pm Saturday 9th of January and 10.00am till 3.30 pm on Sunday 10th of January. We will be hoping to see as many as possible of you at this show. We also hope to present a display of Liliums at the Launceston Lily Show on Saturday & Sunday, 16th & 17th January.

For those of you who would like a copy of our Lilium or Winter Catalogue a reminder to please TICK for these on your Order Form. Anne, who handles most of our paper-work, is not a mind-reader so if you don't tick,a copy doesn't come!

AFFODIL LIST

Daffodils are very easy to grow, doing well in any reasonable soil. They like an open, sunny position, a dry Summer rest period, and plenty of moisture while in growth. Plant bulbs from January till mid April.

The bulbs need to be planted reasonably deep (about 15cm (6 inches) in light soil, a bit less in heavy soil). Do not plant bulbs on a very hot day (hot, moist soils could cause the bulb to rot) and don't plant back in the same spot you last had daffodils growing. We lift and divide our garden planted bulbs each three years. If fertilizing your bulbs, potash is all that is required.

Never, never ever cut the foliage off your daffodils while it is still in growth. This year's foliage is next year's plant and flowers!

If you wish to grow daffodils in pots please read our notes "Growing Bulbs in Pots" on Page 6.

In this Catalogue daffodils are listed in their twelve basic groups (Divisions), as per the Classification System of The Royal Horticultural Society, with Divisions 1 to 4 further separated into colour groupings:

The Divisions are as follows:

1 Trumpets 5 Triandrus 9 Poeticus 2 Large Cups 6 Cyclamineus 10 Species 3 Small Cups 7 Jonquilla 11 Split Cups 4 Doubles 8 Tazetta 12 Miscellaneous

The Name and Country listed in brackets, after the name of the daffodil, indicates the breeder and place of origin.

To complete our Daffodil List there is a large section of Hybrid & Species Miniature Daffodils which will, we expect, prove to be of great interest. There is also a listing of new Glenbrook hybrids which we hope will prove top class garden and show plants.

DAFFODIL COLOUR DESCRIPTIONS

Our descriptions of colours for daffodils, listed in this Catalogue, are fairly accurate for the flowers as grown here. Some plants are rather variable e.g. RAGBAG which has egg-yolk yellow petaloids just as often as orange. In warmer climates we would not expect either the pink or red cups to be so bright in colour as when grown in cold-climate gardens.

LENBROOK RAISED MINIATURE DAFFODILS

With the continuing development of our interest in growing, showing and breeding miniature daffodils we are introducing five new Glenbrook -raised miniatures this year: ANGEL'S BREATH, COO, MINNIE, SWAGGER and TADPOLE. We are confident that these plants will prove fine additions to the range of choice miniature cultivars for garden and show.

It has been a tremendous pleasure during 1992 to see or hear of the success of other growers with plants of our raising, both here and overseas. We understand that Naomi Liggett won a Gold Ribbon in the U.S.A. this season showing ANGEL'S WHISPER, while LIITLE MISSUS, MORTIE and FERDIE have all won Champion Awards recently in Tasmania. Certainly a number of growers in Canberra are doing very well with these flowers too. All these miniatures are in fairly limited stocks, so please order as soon as possible.

IMPORTANT CULTIVATION NOTES FOR HOOP-PETTICOAT DAFFODILS:

In our garden we flower our hoop-petticoats (the species N. bulbocodium, N. cantabricus, N. romieuxii and their hybrids) prolifically every year. We believe this success is due to planting the bulbs in a situation where they get no water from November through until March. The easiest way to achieve this is by planting in pots and tipping these on their side for the Summer. This long, hot, dry spell certainly seems to be the key to prolific flowering.
