 improved Ornatus. It is a giant. 7 cents each; 

 four for 25 cents. 



*POETICUS ORNATUS — Large, beautifully formed, 

 pure white flowers, with saffron cup, tinged with 

 rosy-scarlet. Sweet-scented. A magnificent cut-

 crimson. Sweet-scented. Cannot be forced. 5

POSTICUS POETARUM — The flowers of this splen- 

 did variety are much larger and the orange rim 

 more distinct in the cup. This beautiful variety 

 will be welcomed as a decided improvement over 

 the old Poeticus. 4 cents each; seven for 25 cents. 



Double Narcissus, or Daffodils 



Double (Camellia-Flowered) Narcissus — Yellow 

 Variety

 tary. Splendid forcing variety. 7 cents each; 

 four for 25 cents. 



Two Colored Varieties 



WHITE AND YELLOW 



There are no finer Narcissi than the Orange and 

 Sulrjhur Phoenix. Especially is the Sulphur Phoenix 

 extra fine. The flower is as large almost as a 

 Peony. Be sure and try them.

 tiful variety has double white flowers with orange 

 nectary. Splendid for pot culture and cutting.

 hpur nectary; an exquisite corsage flower and

Poeticus Ornatus. 



Double Trumpet Daffodils

 fodil." Pich golden-yellow perianth and trumpet.

 being grown for this purpose both in Europe and 

 America. 7 cents each; four for 25 cents; twelve

Gardenia-Flowered White Variety 



ALBA PLENA ODORATA, "The Double White Poet's 

 Narcissus" — Snow-white Gardenia-like flowers, 

 exquisitely scented. 4 cents each; seven for 25c. 



Polyanthus Narcissus 



Or Bunch-Flowered Daffodils 



The Polyanthus variety of Narcissus is not only beautiful, but deli- 

 ciously sweet-scented and of the very easiest culture. Very free-flower- 

 ing and suitable for window garden, conservatory or garden, continuing 

 long in bloom. They have tall spikes of bloom, bearing six to twenty- 

 four flowers each. The pure white petals and gold cup of some varieties, 

 the yellow with the orange cup of others, and the self whites and yel- 

 lows, render them great favorites. 



NOTE — Polyanthus Narcissus, although not considered hardy, have 

 lived out for two winters in the vicinity of Boston with a slight cover- 

 ing of straw and leaves, producing much larger flowers, and more of 

 them, than when grown in the house in pots. 



WHITE VARIETY 



♦PAPER "WHITE (Totus Albus Grandidora) — Pure snow-white flowers 

 in clusters. This variety is perhaps more largely forced for cut flowers 

 than any other, millions of them being used for the larger flower mar- 

 kets of the world. Price, 8 cents each; four for 30 cents. 



YELLOW AND BICOLOR VARIETY 



♦GRAND MONARQ.UE — Large, pure white, with lemon cup. Extra fine. 

 This variety is one of the finest of all Polyanthus Narcissus. S cents 

 each; four for 30 cents. 



Giant Golden Sacred Lily 



Giant Golden Sacred Lily. 



The flowers of this beautiful Sacred Lily are almost identical with the 

 Chinese variety, except that they are of the most lovely shade of deep 

 golden-yellow, making a fine contrast with the white bloom of that noted 

 kind. The bulbs are not nearly so large, but the trusses of flowers are 

 of good size, making this a charming bulb for house culture. Grows 

 in water, like the old variety. 12 cents each; three for 30 cents; 75 cents 

 per dozen.
