Nakcissus Leedsii White Lady 

 (Offered on page 16) 



Narcissus 

 Poetaz 



(CIuster=flowered Daffodils) 



These new hybrids are a cross be- 

 tween the Poeticus and Polyanthus 



types, partaking largely of the former 



in the size and form of the individual 



(lowers, and also inherits the strong, 



tree growth and hardiness of their 



JPoeticus parentage. In the manner 



of producing their flowers in clusters, 



and in extreme free-flowering quali- 

 ties, they possess all the merits of the 



Polyanthus type. They are as easily 



flowered in the house in winter as the 



Polyanthus, and are considered by 



many as better than the Polyanthus, 



and offer a larger variety in coloring. 



We offer three fine varieties: 



Blvira. Very free- flowering, pro- 

 ducing a number of stems to a bulb; each bearing 3 to 4 large flowers, with 

 broad, heavy white petals and a bright yellow cup, edged orange. 8 cts. 

 each; 75 cts. per doz. ; $5.50 per 100. 



Irene. Petals soft primrose-yellow, changing to lighter yellow; deep gol- 

 den-yellow cup; flowers of good size, produced in clusters of 6 to 9 flowers 

 each. 8 cts. each; 80 cts. per doz.; $6.00 per 100. 



Triumph. One of the latest introductions, and producing the largest flowers 

 of all; perianth pure white with deep yellow cup prettily fluted. 3 to 4 

 flowers on a stem. 8 cts. each; 80 cts. per doz.; |6.00 per 100.

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. For indoor culture the King 

 Edward VII and Ornatus are best. All do well in the open bor- 

 der, or naturalized in grass, are perfectly liardy, and once planted 

 take care of themselves. 



Poeticus {Pheasant' s Eye, or Poet's Narcissits). Flowers 

 snow-white, with beautiful lemon-yellow cup edged with brigh' 

 orange-red; blooms in May; very fragrant. 50 cts. per d( z. ; 

 $3. 00 per 100; $25.00 per 1000. 

 Poeticus Ornatus. Until the introduction of King Edward 

 VII, the most perfect form of Poet Narcissus. It is more sym- 

 metrical than the old Poeticus, and blooms almost a mouth 

 earlier; flowers large, pure white, cup margined with scarlet 

 and as fragrant as the type. Extra large bulbs, 60 cts. per 

 doz.; $4.50 per 100; $40.00 per 1000. 

 Poeticus King Edward VII {Almira). An improvement on 

 Ornatus, being a stronger grower, producing larger flowers of 

 purest white, wilh yellow cup margined with scarlet; very early. 

 10 cts. each; $1.00 per doz.; $7.50 per 100; $70.00 per 1000. 



NARCISSUS IN MIXTURE 



For planting among shrubbery, in unused corners or for natu- 

 ralizing In grass, where they may remain undisturbed for years, 

 these are, without doul)t, one of the best 

 hardy bulbs, coming into bloom early and 

 supplying an unfailing source of cut flowers. 

 Single Varieties. A splendid mixture, con- 

 taining a great many flee varieties, and sure 

 to produce satisfactory returns. 50 cts. per 

 doz.; $3.50 per 100; $30.00 per 1000.
