LARGE TRUMPET II7 



freely is a desirable variety for gardens and naturalising. 



Golden Prince. (B. 16 in. $4 doz.) An early flower- 

 ing daffodil of a uniform golden yellow. The trumpet is 

 lobed and serrated at the brim. Foliage broad and leek 

 like. 



,/ Golden Spur. Syn: Spurius Golden Spur. (A. 18 in. 

 *■ § H soc doz.) A native of the Netherlands. An extra 

 early free-flowering variety that is a great favourite with 

 the writer, who if he could have but one daffodil would 

 choose this. It is not the biggest, nor yet the most beauti- 

 ful, but when you plant a dozen bulbs of it you are pretty 

 sure to get eighteen to twenty-four flowers all large, perfect 

 and as richly coloured as the most fastidious grower could 

 desire. Golden Spur has a vigorous constitution, is easily 

 forced in flats, flowers beautifully in pots, and is perfectly 

 at home in the garden border ; and when naturalised, seeds 

 freely and increases correspondingly. The flowers of large 

 size have a spreading megaphone-like trumpet with grace- 

 fully rolled brim, perianth large and open. The colour, a 

 self-yellow, is almost as deep as that of maximus. 



Hamlet. (C. 18 in. §^[$1.50 ea.) A handsome new 

 variety after the style of Emperor, with a bold, well-formed 

 yellow trumpet, and a large broad, flat, light yellow peri- 

 anth. 



Henry Irving. Syn: Spurius Hy. Irving. (A. 18 in. 

 § f * soc doz.) A native of the Netherlands and a fine type 

 of spurius major, with handsome flowers of great substance. , 

 Trumpet, rich golden yellow, wide and recurved at the 

 mouth. Perianth, broad, spreading and of clear yellow. Ex- 

 cellent for forcing, pot culture, growing in borders and nat- 

 uralising in grass. It thrives best in sandy, gritty loam, and 

 like all of the "spurius" class, can be injured by kind- 

 ness; that is, given a soil too freshly manured. 



Her Majesty. (B. 15 in. $1.50 doz.) An early flowering 

 light, self yellow, expanding trumpet, beautifully serrated 

 at the brim.
