A very early white trumpet daffodil; a large flower with wide 

 perianth, and huge flaring trumpet which opens lemon color 

 but fades to creamy white. One of the most showy white 

 trumpet varieties. E. 



BEERSHEBA Each $1.50 



A forerunner to a new race. A truly magnificent flower, all 

 white, nearly five inches across. The large perfectly flat 

 perianth and long, beautifully flanged trumpet makes this 

 the perfect show flower. A flower of fine form, stately carriage 

 and remarkable substance, keeping for weeks. Produces 

 wonderful bulbs that are very vigorous and increase rapidly, 

 a cold climate seems to add to its vigor. Beersheba will hold 

 its ow-n at any flower show in any country. Many impressive 

 awards. M. 



LOVENEST Each 30c ; 4 for $1 .00 ; Doz. $3.00 



This is among the daintiest ol all the trumpets; perianth is 

 white, star-shaped and overlapping. The nicely proportioned 

 trumpet opens a creamy lemon edged apricot; but as the 

 flower develops the frilled edge of the trumpet gradually 

 turns a dainty shell pink. Very early; delicate coloring, but 

 good keeper. E.

Sometimes called the "White King Alfred." A large flower 

 of fine shape and form, the trumpet rolling back at the mouth 

 similar to King Alfred. Not a pure white variety, but the 

 petals open ivory white, the waxy trumpet opens soft prim- 

 rose yellow and gradually fades to creamy white. M.

Suggestions for Growing DAFFODILS .... 



They will thrive in any well-drained garden soil. Prepare the 

 soil deeply, 12 inches or more is best. Plant at least b inches 

 deep, extra large bulbs are better planted 7 or 8 inches deep. 

 (Some varieties make larger bulbs than others.) No manure 

 should come in contact with the bulb. If the soil needs fertility 

 use bone meal at the rate of one-fifth pound to the square 

 yard. This should be thoroughly mixed with the soil under 

 the bulb. 



A mulch of straw or leaves will be beneficial in very severe 

 climates. If the mulch is applied after the first freeze, it will 

 pre\'ent thawing and hea\-ing.

One of the finest in this class. The perianth is pure white and

 trast. One of its most remarkable qualities is that the color

 and one of our favorites. M.
