MRS. R. O. BACKHOUSE Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 



This is the famous "pink trumpet" Daffodil. Fine informal perianth of 

 ivory-white, the inner petals slightly twirled. The trumpet is slim and long, 

 opening apricot-pink and turning true pink, deeper at the crinkled rim. 

 Delicately beautiful but of exceptional substance. Belongs in every collec- 

 tion. See page 41 . 



PRESIDENT CARNOT Each 40c; 3 for $1.00 



Big white trumpet that opens lemon toned and rapidly changes to creamy 

 white. The large and deep trumpet is heavily flanged. This is the best of 

 the whites at a low price. Very early. 



RED SHADOW Each 30c; $2.50 per Doz. 



Extra late; one of the last of all, with much of the color found in Fortune 

 but the perianth is lighter yellow. It is a splendid big flower with large cup 

 of deep yellow margined red-orange. Increases fast and blooms very freely. 

 See page 46. 



ROMAN STAR Each $2.00; 3 for $5.00 



One of the most sensational varieties we have seen and one that is rarely 

 offered. The smooth creamy perianth petals are so wide they almost com- 

 pletely overlap; the short crown is heavily fringed and is margined fiery red- 

 orange. Very prominent stamens. Shown on page 40. 



ROXANE Each 40c; 3 for $1.00 



Almost white, a solid deep cream or ivory-toned big trumpet Daffodil with 

 heavily crinkled brim. Very early but lasts until past midseason. This is a 

 flower of altogether different appearance as compared to either Beersheba 

 or Mrs. Bodger. All three would give you a splendid selection of whites. 



ROYAL SOVEREIGN Each 60c; 3 for $1.50 



As shown on page 42, this is probably the most graceful of all the double 

 Daffodils and consists of a charming combination of colors. The creamy 

 white petals are interspersed with a crinkled and frilled center of primrose- 

 yellow, shading paler as the flower develops. This unusual Daffodil appeals 

 to everyone's fancy. 



SHERMAN Each $1.50; 3 for $4.00 



Creamy white perianth that is broad and overlapping, with heavily frilled 

 cup of deep orange -ye I low. Anthers are conspicuously colored apricot. Buds 

 hang down but flowers stand up well, making a pretty contrast. Blooms very 

 late. 



SILVER CHIMES Each $1.50; 3 for $4.00 



One of the prettiest of the small-cupped Triandrus hybrids. Frequently pro- 

 duces heads of six or more waxy flowers per stem, with pure white perianth 

 and pale primrose globular cup. Delightfully fragrant. 



SILVER STAR Each 25c; $2.50 per Doz. 



Perfect broad petaled star-shaped perianth of pure cream-white, with fine 

 proportioned and wide mouthed trumpet of primrose, changing to cream- 

 white just a shade deeper than the background. Free flowering, with long 

 stately stems. 



THALIA Each 30c; $3.00 per Doz. 



An exquisite flower of unusually pleasant appearance; three to four pure 

 white flowers on one stem. Often described as the "Orchid Narcissus." 

 Thalia is sold to almost all flower lovers who see it in bloom here. Ideal in 

 every way, especially for corsages and bouquets. 



TREVITHIAN Each 30c; $2.75 per Doz. 



A Jonquil hybrid bearing two or more flowers per stem, soft lemon-yellow 

 in color. A good companion to such types as Thalia and Golden Perfection 

 but of an altogether different shade. Sweet scented. 



TUNIS Each 35c; $3.50 per Doz. 



Invariably admired and promptly bought by all who see it. The perianth is 

 cream, 4 to 5 inches across; the very widely flaring trumpet a peculiar shade 

 of apricot-buff, approaching salmon. This color is especially strong around 

 the fluted margin. When first opening, the impression is that of a white 

 and lemon bicolor, but it continues to grow in size and height while the 

 true color develops. Early and long lasting. 



TWINK Each 25c; $2.50 per Doz. 



By far the finest low priced double Daffodil. It is quite early, prolific, 

 and much superior to the old double types. Alternate petals of light yel- 

 low and brilliant burnt orange, a fluffy blossom which creates a splash 

 of color in the garden and an exciting effect as a cut flower in the home. 



VERONICA Each $3.00 



A very new and rare giant Leedsi classed as a "pink" Daffodil, but it is more 

 on the apricot side with pinkish flush. Perfectly rounded wide perianth of 

 pure white; the cup is deeply fluted and frilled, solid buffy apricot flushed 

 pink. Novel and very beautiful.
