LARGE TRUMPET 135 



garden borders, naturalised in grass, in pots, bowls of moss 

 and water, or forced in flats for cut flowers in winter. 

 These many merits in conjunction with the reasonable price 

 of their bulbs render both sorts most popular. Empress 

 resembles Horsfieldi closely, is a little later in blooming, 

 perhaps, a little more stiff and robust in growth with not 

 quite as white perianth petals and a rich yellow trumpet. 



E. T. COOK. (14 in. $30 ea.) New. Broad, bold peri- 

 anth of white and a rich chrome-yellow trumpet. 



GRANDEE. Syns: bicolor maximus, grandis. (E. 12 in. 

 fi*4oc. doz.) Late flowering; excellent for succession, 

 blooming nearly two weeks after Empress and Horsfieldi. 

 It is of rather dwarf growth, sturdy and robust, with broad 

 foliage. The flowers are beautifully formed, massive and 

 of splendid substance. Trumpet large, and long, of rich 

 yellow. Perianth wide, round petalled and pure white. 

 Planted in shade, it flowers in May. Good cut flower. 



GWENDOLEN. ($125 ea.) A new bi-colour trumpet of 

 large and noble form, white perianth petals and a long, 

 straight light canary-yellow trumpet 



HORSFIELDI. (B. 14 in. If * soc. doz.) It is a pity that 

 this grand and popular daffodil could not be popularly 

 known as John Horsfield in veneration of the narcissus 

 enthusiast a modest Scotch shoemaker who produced it. 

 It is very early flowering, very free, splendid for forcing, 

 and showy in beds and borders. The large flowers have 

 a rich yellow trumpet and a broad petalled, well expanded 

 perianth of pure white. Unfortunately, in the later years 

 of its life it is getting weaker in constitution, and in some 

 places is now becoming diseased. 



HULDA. (C. 1 8 in. $25 ea.) New and remarkably hand- 

 some. Large and broad petals of pure white and measur- 

 ing four inches across, large trumpet of pale yellow. A 

 flower of great substance. 



IONE. Trumpet rich yellow, well expanded and beauti- 

 fully flanged. Perianth imbricated and straw-yellow.
