Preer's Autumn Catalogue, 1896. 



Double Daffodils. 



No collection is complete without the double-flowering sorts. While not as 

 attractive as many of the single varieties, they possess a charm peculiarly their 

 own. They are excellent for forcing, and will thrive equally well in the house 

 or open ground, being perfectly hardy.

 shade of golden yellow ; flowers large and of fine form. 3 for 10 cts.. 30 cts. 

 per doz., §2 per 100, §16 per 1000.

 good shape. 20 cts. per doz., §1.25 per 100.

 lent flower for forcing. 5 cts. each, 40 cts. per doz., §3 per 100.
