N. B —Do not confuse these with French Trumpet Majors; they are entirely different, and flowers are 

 much superior. For Early Flowering they are exceedingly useful, blooming as they do two to three 

 weeks before the Holland grown stock.

SomervlUe, N. J., Jan. 19th, 1912. 

 Mr. A. T. Boddingrtun. Dear Sir:— The "Sliver Spur" 

 Narcissus bulbs received from you last August flowered 

 on the 10th Inst. They are a welcome addition to the 

 list of early-flowerlngr Narcissus. Belni; earlier than 

 Empress— which It resembles In color— will undoubtedly 

 make It valuable commercially. We think so well of It 

 that It win partly displace the early trumpets on our 

 future Bulb list. Very truly yours, 



(Slgrned) A. A. Macdonald. 



Purity Freesias
