About this issue

This 1930 publication is The Blue Book of Bulbs (twentieth edition), a mail-order catalog issued by Chester Jay Hunt, Inc., of Little Falls, New Jersey. The catalog details spring-flowering bulbs for autumn planting, focusing on tulips, daffodils, hyacinths, and crocuses sourced from Dutch growers. The introduction emphasizes the company's twenty-year commitment to "cream quality" stock and exclusive introductions. Technical sections describe bulb planting requirements, cultural notes, and flowering timelines across tulip varieties: Single Early, Double, Cottage, Darwin, and Breeder types. The 1930 market section reports significant crop damage from a March 1929 Dutch frost, causing scarcity in certain tulips and crocuses. New introductions include hyacinth King of the Lilacs, tulips like Cherry Blossom and Helen Wills, and narcissi varieties. Business conditions include pricing structures, payment terms, June 25 order deadlines, and field-trial verification at company gardens at Mayfair, which showcase five hundred tulip varieties and one hundred daffodil varieties in naturalized and formal settings.
