Doubie=flowering 

 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 

 pyeculiarly their own. All are perfectly hardy and are much in 

 demand for cutting. 



Alba Plena Odorata {Double Poet's Narcissus or Gar- 

 denia Daffodil). Double pure white; very sweet-scented. 

 This beautiful variety cannot be forced. It succeeds best 

 planted in rather heavy soil, in partial shade, and where it 

 will not suffer for lack of moisture. 50 cts. per doz.; $3. 75 

 per 100. 



Orange Phcenix (Eggs and Bacon). Lightcitron with orange 

 centre; a beautiful artistic blossom and easily forced. 7 cts. 

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



Sulphur or Silver Phoenix (Codlins and Cream). Creamy 

 white with pale sulphur centre. Considered the finest of the 

 double sorts. 7 cts. each; 75 cts. per doz.; $5.50 per 100. 



Van Sion {Telemonius Planus). The famous old Dutch 

 Daffodil; flowers golden yellow. This variety is used in 

 enormous quantities 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-nosed Bulbs. Each bulb will pro- 

 duce at least two flowers, and frequently'three or more. 10 

 cts. each; $1.00 per doz.; $7.50 per 100. 



Selected Single-nosed Bulbs. Each bulb will produce at 

 least one fine flower, and often two. 7 cts. each; 75. cts. 

 per doz.; $5.50 per 100.

 Grown in a bowl in water and pebbles 



JONQUILS 



(Narcissus Jonquilla and Odorus) 



Jonquils are a small flowering type of Narcissus and are prized 

 for their graceful, golden, fragrant blossoms, and the ease with 

 which they may be grown. Half a dozen bulbs can be put in a 

 5-inch pot, and with the same treatment as given Hyacinths, 

 a fine display can be had from January to April. Liberal 

 planting should be made outdoors. A clump of 50 or more 

 bulbs put here and there among the shrubbery, or interspersed 

 in the hardy border, or naturalized in the grass, give an inde- 

 scribably rich effect in the early spring, while a vase of the cut 

 blooms will fill a room with the rich, spicy odor. 



Single Sweet=scented {Narcissus Jonquilla). Rich, 

 buttery-yellow; not as large a flower as the others, but most 

 fragrant and very free-flowering. 40 cts. per doz,; $2.50 

 per 100. 



Campernelle (Narcissus Odorus). A grand variety, pro- 

 ducing freely large yellow flowers, very sweetly scented; a 

 strong grower, doing well in almost any position. 40 cts. 

 per doz.; $2.50 per 100. 



Campernelle Rugulosus. The largest and finest of all 

 Jonquils; a handsome flower; color pure yellow; very fragrant. 

 50 cts. per doz.; $3.50 per 100. 



Odorus PXenus {Double Campernelle Jonquil). A charm- 

 ing variety bearing on tall graceful stems, double yellow fra- 

 grant flowers of elegant form. 50 cts. per doz. ; $3. 50 per 100. 



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 doubt, one of the best hardy bulbs, coming 

 into bloom early and supplying an unfailing source of cut flowers. 



Single Varieties. A splendid mixture, containing a great 

 many fine varieties, and sure to produce satisfactory returns. 

 50 cts. per doz.; $3.50 per 100; $3000 per 1000. 



Double Varieties. A very good mixture containing some 

 each of the various varieties. Excellent for planting for 

 cutting, 55 cts. per doz.; $4.00 per 100; $35.00 per 1000.
