THE 



I C ROWN H AFFODILS 



These beautiful DafEodils are hybrids. The originals of most of the 

 various family groups being crosses between the large trumpet DafEodils 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 embrace 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 

 in water in the house.
