*** THE CKOWN DAFFODILS. *«* 



These beautiful Daffodils are hybrids. The originals of most of the various 

 family groups being crosses between the large trumpet Daffodils and the small 

 cupped Poeticus, the blood of the latter supplying the red rimmed crowns to 

 be found on some of the varieties in this section. The Crown Daffodils em- 

 brace the greatest variety of forms and range of coloring. They are strong 

 growers, free bloomers, hardy and thrive under garden culture or naturalized; 

 while for growing in pots or forced for winter flowers they are splendid, and as 

 cut flowers greatly prized. The red rimmed varieties sometimes lose their red 

 color in exposed hot sunny locations, therefore should be cut when only half 

 expanded and be allowed to develop with stems in water in the house.

" / wish you could have peeped in my pit any day since Christmas and looked 

 at my Narcissus that I bought from you. I thought 1 had seen pretty flowers 

 before, but these beat any. I reckon the pit suited them, for everyone says they 

 never saw such before." Mrs. A. J. SALE, Lynchburg, Va.
