Note to Bidders:
The American Daffodil Society (ADS) Bulb Auctions are supported by many of the leading hybridizers around the
world. Their generous donations make this auction possible. In order to ensure continued donations of their newest
and best creations, the ADS asks that buyers hold bulbs purchased in their garden and NOT release, trade, donate,
sell, or distribute any bulb from this auction for a period of five years. Bidding for bulbs and plants is only open to ADS
members who reside in the continental United States. We thank you for your generous participation and appreciate
your respect for the bulb growers’ economic concerns.
