Double Narcissus or Daffodils 



No collection of Narcissus is complete without the double-flowering sorts. 

 While not as attractive as many of the single varieties, and lacking variety of 

 coloring, they possess a charm peculiarly their own. All are perfectly hardy and 

 are much in demand for cutting. 



Alba Plena Odorata {Double Poet's Narcissus or Gardenia Daffodil). Pure 

 white, beautiful, with the delightful fragrance of orange blossoms. Strong 

 stems. Blooms very late and seems to prefer a cool soil and semi-shaded posi- 

 tion. In some situations the buds blast every year or the flowers come single, 

 then again whole patches can be found near old homesteads in New York and 

 Connecticut which produce masses of excellent double flowers every season. 

 This beautiful variety cannot be forced or grown indoors. 15 cts. each; $1.50 

 per doz.; $10.00 per 100. 



Argent. Alternate rows of pure yellow and larger pure white petals. A long 

 stemmed double flower of very graceful form. Open faced and friendly looking 

 The texture of the white petals glistens as if dusted with silver. Free-flowering 

 midseason bloomer. 20 cts. each; $2.10 per doz.; $15.00 per 100. 



Orange Phoenix (Eggs and Bacon) . Light citron with orange centre; a beauti- 

 ful artistic blossom and easily forced. 15 cts. each; $1.50 per doz.; $10.00 

 per 100. 



Primrose Phoenix. A very beautiful Daffodil with large double rose-shaped 

 flowers of a lovely soft tone of lemon. Very free-flowering. 20 cts. each; 

 $2.00 per doz.; $14.00 per 100. 



Sulphur or Silver Phoenix (Codlins and Cream). Creamy 

 white with pale sulphur centre. One of the finest double sorts. 

 15 cts. each; $1.50 per doz.; $10.00 per 100. 



Van Sion (Tclamonius Plenus). The famous old Dutch Daffodil; 

 flowers golden yellow. This variety is used in enormous quanti- 

 ties for forcing; also excellent for bedding in conjunction with 

 Hyacinths, flowering at the same time and presenting a beautiful 

 contrast when used with a blue variety. Extra Selected Double- 

 nosedBulbs. 20 cts. each; $2.10 per doz.; $15.00 per 100.
