Giant Trumpet Narcissus Bicolor Victoria 



BiCOlor Victoria. A fine variety, perianth creamy-white, 

 trumpet rich yellow, delicately perfumed; unsurpassed for 

 pot culture and always satisfactory out of doors. 7 cts. each; 

 70 cts. per doz.; $5.00 per 100; $45.00 per 1000. 



Emperor. This grand variety, which is nicely illustrated on 

 the page opposite, is one of the largest and finest Daffodils in 

 cultivation, pure yellow trumpet of immense size, and wide 

 overlapping, rich primrose perianth; for bedding, naturaliz- 

 ing or for growing in pots in the house it is unequalled. Much 

 in demand for cutting. Extra large bulbs, 7 cts. each; 70 

 cts. per doz.; $5.00 per 100; $45.00 per 1000. 



Empress. This fitting companion to Emperor, is also illus- 

 trated on the page opposite. It is of strong, robust growth, 

 ■with fine large flowers; the perianth snow white, trumpet 

 rich yellow, serrated and flanged at the edges; one of the best 

 bicolors and of rare beauty for cutting. Extra large bulbs, 7 

 cts. each; 70 cts. per doz.; $5.00 per 100; $45.00 per 1000 



There are no hardy bulbous plants which have 

 more points of merit than the Narcissus or Daf- 

 fodils. Perfectly hardy, growing and doing well in 

 almost any and every position, sun or shade, moist or 

 dry. All conditions seem to suit them, although they 

 have a preference for a good, deep soil and a semi- 

 shaded position, and every vacant corner in the garden, 

 amongst the grass, under the trees, etc., etc., could 

 not be used to better advantage than by filling with 

 Narcissus, and every hardy border should have a 

 number of clumps interspersed through it. They 

 are equally suitable for pot culture for winter flower- 

 ing. Three or four bulbs can be put into a 5-inch or 

 6-inch pan or pot, and, with the same treatment as 

 given to Hyacinths, the dull winter and early spring 

 months can be made bright with their exquisite gold 

 and silver blossoms. But it is outdoors that Nar- 

 cissus do best, and once planted need no further atten- 

 tion, the clumps as a rule multiplying and giving 

 larger and finer results each year, and from an origi- 

 nal planting of a few hundred bulbs in two or three 

 years may be cut thousands of flowers without missing 

 them. We import only the highest grade of bulbs, 

 mostly double nose or mother bulbs, which will pro- 

 duce several flowers each, and must not be compared 

 to the smaller, cheaper grade usually sent out. 

 In describing Narcissus it is usual to give the 

 color of the trumpet or crown and the color of ths 

 perianth or petals surrounding the trumpet.

 also the most useful, growing easily either indoors or in the 

 open ground. Every one of the ten varieties of this type 

 offered on this and page 16 are deserving of extensive plant-

 you will get a bountiful harvest of blossoms in the spring. 



Qiant Princeps. One of the most popular; perianth sul- 

 phur white; trumpet rich yellow. As a forcing variety it is 

 superior in every way, and a fine sort for naturalizing. 4 cts. 

 each; 35 cts, per doz.; $2.25 per 100; $20.00 per 1000. 



Golden Spur. The most popular of the golden-yellow trum- 

 pets with cut flower growers, as it produces freely and early 

 its handsome rich, deep yellow flowers. It is just as valu- 

 able out of doors as for forcing. A strong, vigorous grower, 

 always doing well. Extra large bulbs, 6 cts, each; 60 cts. 

 per doz.; $4.00 per 100; $35.00 per 1000.
