John Scheepers Beauty from Bulbs has donated 10 bulbs each from four different daffodils: Kapiti Peach, Eaton Song, Fidan and Littlefield for a total of 40 bulbs. Daffodils are very easy to plant in the fall and bloom reliably in the spring year after year. These long-lived bulbs are deer and rodent resistant.

Born in the Netherlands, he came to America in 1897 and in the 1900s, his bulb company become known as the premier resource for Dutch flower bulbs in the United States. He is credited for revolutionizing gardening through the wide use of flower bulbs in this country.

Scheepers is indeed a wonderful company. They have a good variety of excellent seed along with a wide selection of high quality bulbs including an excellent allium collection. Scheepers staff have always been generous with their knowledge (recipes included!) as well as being a local company for southern New Englanders. All good!
Yes I like them a lot and if you go to their webpage they have a very interesting history.
