The Poet's Narcissus 



(Narcissus Poeticus ) 



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 perfectly 

 hardy, and once planted take care of themselves. 



Poeticus {Pheasant's Eye or Poet's Narcissus). Flowers snow-white, vrith 

 beautiful lemon-yellow cup edged with bright orange-red. 45 cts. per doz.; 

 S3. 00 per 100; §25.00 per 1000. 



Poeticus OrnatUS. More symmetrical than the old Poeticus, and comes 

 into bloom earUer;, flowers large, pure white, cup margined with scarlet. 

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

 being a stronger grower, producing larger flowers of purest white, with 

 yellow cup margined ■nith scarlet; very early. 8 cts. each; 85 cts. per doz.; 

 S6.50 per 100. 



Poeticus Thelma. AVe consider this the finest Poet's Narcissus yet intro- 

 duced. The wide overlapping substantial petals are of snowy-white, the

 free grower and bloomer. Extra fine. 20 cts. each; $1.75 per doz.; $12.00

Xarcissus Poeticus_Thelnl\ 



(Cluster-flowered DcifFodils) 



These are a cross between the Poeticus and Polyanthus types, 

 partaking largely of the former in the size and form of the indi- 

 \-idual flowers, and also inherits the strong, free gro-nth 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. Verj' free-flowering, producing a number of stems to a bulb; each 

 bearing 3 to 4 large flowers, with broad, hea\'y white petals and a bright 

 yellow cup, edged orange. 10 cts. each; SI. 00 per doz.; $7.50 per 100. 

 Helios. The best yeUow 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 Eoster. 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. 10 cts. each; $1.00 per doz.; $7.50 per 100. 



Single Mixed Narcissus 



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

 produce satisfactory returns. 50 cts. per doz.; S3.50 per 100: $30.00 per 1000.
