BULBS FOR AUTUMN PLANTING 



The CROWN and DOLLY CUP DAFFODILS. 



These beautiful Daffodils are hybrids. The originals of most of the various family groups being crosses between the large trumpet Daffodils 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; for growing in pots 

 or forced for winter flowers, they are splendid, and as cut flowers are greatly prized. The red rimmed varieties sometimes *ose 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.
