The Poet's Narcissus 



(Narcissus Poeticus) 



Note.— No Narcissus bulbs may be imported for sale after January, 1926. 

 Secure your full requirements this season. 



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 per- 

 fectly 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. 45 cts. per doz.; 

 $3.00 per 100; S25.00 per 1000. 



Poeticus Ornatus. More symmetrical than the old Poeticus, and blooms 

 almost a month earlier; flowers large, pure white, cup margined with scarlet. 

 Extra large bulbs, 70 cts. per doz.; $5.00 per 100; $45.00 per 1000. 



Poeticus King Edward VII (Almira). An improvement on Ornatus, 

 being a stronger grow-er, producing larger flowers of purest white, with 

 yellow cup margined with scarlet; very early. 10 cts. each; 90 cts. per doz.; 

 $7.00 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. 20 cts. each; $1.75 per doz.; $12.00 

 per 100.

Narcissi-s Poeticus Thelma 



, ^.j (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 indi- 

 vidual flowers, and also inherits the strong, free growth of their Poeticus 

 parentage. In the manner of producing their flowers in clusters, and in 

 extreme free-flowering qualities, they possess all the merits of the Poly- 

 ' anthus 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 Poly- 

 anthus, and offer a larger variety in coloring. Can be planted out of doors 

 if well covered during the winter. We offer three fine varieties: 



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. 10 cts. each; $1.00 per doz.; $7.50 per 100. 



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

 yellow cup; flowers of good size, produced in clusters. 15 cts. each; $1.50 

 per doz.; $10.00 per 100. 



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

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

 fluted. 3 to 4 flowers on a stem. lOcts.each; $1.00 per doz.; S7. 50 per 100. 



Single Mixed Narcissus 



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

 produce satisfactory returns. 50 cts. per doz.; $3.50 per 100; S30. 00 per 1000.
