Narcissus Poetaz 



(Cluster-Flowered Daffodils) 



These are a cross between the Poeticus and Polyanthus types, partaking 

 largely of the former in the size and form of the individual flowers, and also 

 inherits the strong, free growth of their Poeticus parentage. In the manner 

 of producing their flowers in cluster, and in extreme free-flowering 

 qualities, they possess all the merits of the Polyanthus type. They are as 

 easily flowered in the house in winter as the Paper White Polyanthus, and 

 are considered by many as better than the Polyanthus, and offer a larger 

 rariety in coloring. Can be planted out of doors if well covered during 

 the winter. We offer four fine varieties. 

 Early Perfection. An early and very free flowering variety, with 



spikes of many white flowers with distinct yellow cup. 25 cts. each; 



$2.00 per doz.; $15.00 per 100. 

 Elvira. Very free-flowering, producing a number of stems to a bulb; each 



bearing 3 to 4 large flowers, with broad, heavy white petals and a bright 



yellow cup, edged orange-red. 20 cts. each; $1.50 per doz.; $10.00 



per 100. 

 Helios. The best yellow variety. Petals soft primrose-yellow, deep 



golden-yellow cup; flowers of good size, produced in clusters of 5 to 7 



or more. 20 cts. each; $1.75 per doz.; $12.00 per 100. 

 Laurens Koster . One of the latest introductions, and producing very 



large flowers; perianth pure white with deep orange-yellow cup prettily 



fluted. 5 to 7 flowers on a stem. 20 cts. each; $1.50 per doz.; $10.00 



per 100. 



Single Hardy Narcissus Mixed 



A splendid mixture, containing a great many fine varieties, and sure to 

 produce satisfactory returns. $1.00 per doz.; $7.00 per 100; $60.00 per 

 1000. 



Narcissus Poetaz 



Narcissus Poeticus Thelma 



The Poet's Narcissus 



(Narcissus Poeticus) 



This is the old-fashioned favorite type; all have snowy white 

 flowers, with yellow or lemon cups margined more or less deeply with 

 red and with rich, spicy odor. All do well in the open border, or 

 naturalized in grass, are perfectly hardy, and once planted take care 

 of themselves. 



Poeticus (Pheasant's Eye or Poet's Narcissus). Flowers snow-white, 

 with beautiful lemon-yellow cup edged with bright orange-red. 

 12 cts. each; $1.00 per doz.; $7.00 per 100. 



Poeticus OrnatUS. More symmetrical than the old Poeticus, and 

 blooms almost a month earlier; flowers large, pure white, cup 

 margined with scarlet. 15 cts. each; $1.25 per doz.; $8.50 per 100. 



Poeticus Horace. Snowy white petals with large cup or eye nearly all deep 

 scarlet, a very attractive variety. 20 cts. each; $1.50 per doz.; $10.00 per 100. 



Poeticus Juliet. A handsome variety with broad, imbricated white perianth, 

 cup canary yellow thinly edged with madder-red. 20 cts. each; $1.75 per 

 doz.; $12.00 per 100. 



Poeticus Thelma. We consider this the finest Poet's Narcissus yet intro- 

 duced. The wide overlapping substantial petals are of snowy-white, the 

 broad light yellow cup distinctly margined with deep scarlet. A strong, 

 free grower and bloomer. Extra fine. 25 cts. each; $2.00 per doz.; $14.00 

 per 100.
