THE BLUE BOOK OF BULBS 



EPICr Poeticus. 4. Solid, substantial, white perianth of great 

 size; cup canary-yellow, rimmed bright red. One of the new 

 Poeticus varieties which I have noted every season as being 

 the best in my trial-gardens. Height 17 in. 10 bulbs, $1.70; 

 100 bulbs, $15. 



ETHEREAL. Leedsii. 3. Pure white perianth, with well- 

 overlapping petals of great substance; pnire white eye quite 

 flat, as in a Poeticus variety. A wonderfully beautiful flower of 

 a new type. Only a few bulbs for sale. Height 14 in. Single 

 bulbs, SIO. 



EVANGELINE. Leedsii. 4. Broad, pure white perianth, with 

 smooth, overlapping petals of remarkable substance; large, 

 expanding cup or citron-yeilow. A Daffodil expert has called 

 this a bicolor Homespun, an effective manner of characterizing 

 the perfect modeling of the flower. Height 18 in. 10 bulbs, 

 $2.50; 100 bulbs, $24. 



FAIRY. Yellow Trumpet. 2. Perianth primrose-yellow, with 

 long, almond-shaped petals; bright chrome-yellow trumpet, 

 very large and beautifully reflexed and frilled at the brim. Com- 

 bined with its great size, this variety has a most graceful habit. 

 A splendid garden variety and superb for forcing. Height 14 

 in. 10 bulbs, 60 cts.; 100 bulbs, S5; 1,000 bulbs, $45. 



FAIRY QUEEN. Leedsii. 4. Pure v^Hhite perianth, with slightly 

 incurving petals; straight cup of pure white, prettily frilledf. 

 A great improvement over Mrs. Langtry, as it does not become 

 wingy with age. Very fine for the garden or in pots. Height 

 14 in. 10 bulbs, 70 cts.; 100 bulbs, $6. 



FIREBRAND. Barrii. 4. Perianth creamy white, shaded soft 

 yellow at base; cup intense fiery red, prettily fluted. This is 

 one of the brightest of all Daffodils. Splendid for shaded 

 borders, where the bright color retains its intensity. Height 

 17 in. 10 bulbs, 75 cts.; 100 bulbs, $6.50. 



FIREFLAME. Incomparabilis. 2. Perianth rich yellow, with 

 well-formed petals; straight crown, deeply suffused bright 

 orange-scarlet, elegantly fluted. A very showy early variety 

 for borders. Height 14 in. 10 bulbs, $1; 100 bulbs, $9. 



FIRELIGHT. Incomparabilis. 1. Perianth canary-yellow, of 

 fine form; straight, fluted crown of clear golden yellow, suffused 

 with brilliant orange-red. A flower of medium size but very 

 showy coloring, free flowering and splendid for permanent 

 plantings. Height 13 in. 10 bulbs, 85 cts.; 100 bulbs, $750.
