CARLTON 



J^ovelty Daffodils 



ACTAEA 



Each 20c ; Doz. $2.00 



Largest poeticus in existence. Broad snow white perianth ol great sub- 

 stance and good form. Very large eye broadly margined with dark red. 

 Considered the most beautiful Poeticus and wonderful exhibition 

 flower. L, 



BEERSHEBA Each $2.00; 3 for $5.00 



■A forerunner to a new race. A truly magnificent flower, all white, nearly 

 five inches across. The large perfectly flat perianth and long, beautifully 

 flanged trumpet makes this the perfect show flower. A flower of fine 

 form, stately carriage and remarkable substance, keeping for weeks. 

 Produces wonderful bulbs that are very vigorous and increase rapidly, 

 a cold climate seems to add to its vigor. Beersheba will hold its own at 

 any flower show in any country. Many impressive awards. M. 



BEN HUR 



Each 30c ; 3 for 75c 



A glorious "loud-speaker" trumpet, deeply frilled, of pure Roman gold, 

 2'/2 inches across at the mouth; in spite of its immense size, about 51/2 

 inches across the petals, the whole flower is finely proportioned. One of 

 the largest and best of the new giant trumpets. 



BETSY PENN 



Each $2.50; 3 for $6.50 



A giant Leedsii with snow white perianth and cream or ivory crown. 

 Lovely form and perfect texture; the cup is shallow and fluted at the 

 edges, the whole flower very wax-like. A fine tall daffodil of unusual 

 merit. Offered in the Novelty Collection. 



CAMPFIRE 



Each $6.00 



,A very new incomparabilis produced by Guy Wilson of Ireland. As the 

 name would indicate, this is a very brilliant sort, with perfection of 

 form, 22-inch stems and large flowers that look you in the eye. The 

 perianth is rich smooth yellow, the crown blazing orange. It withstands 

 rain and sun equally well and holds its color, 



CARLTON Each 40c ; 3 for $1.00 ; Doz. $3.75 



A gigantic and perfectly formed clear, bright yellow, without a trace 

 of orange. Words cannot convey an idea of how this excellent flower 

 differs from other yellow daffodils, but when you have seen it you will 

 agree that there is nothing comparable to it. The crown is huge but 

 rather short, crinkled at the brim. Magnificent in foliage as well as 

 in flower. 



CONTENT Each $30.00 



One of the newest things in white daffodils. A very tall large flower 

 built much like Beersheba but with broader petals and more flat 

 perianth. Opens a pale greenish yellow but fades to nearly white. Vig- 

 orous grower and exceptionally long lasting in bloom. Height to two feet. 



CHEERFULNESS " Each 20c ; Doz. $2.00 



A cluster-flowered daffodil often referred to as a "double narcissus." 

 The tall erect stems produce a cluster of several small blooms with 

 broad, rounded, creamy white perianth and full double center of 

 creamy white and yellow. Very sweet scented. 



CYMRIC QUEEN Each $5.00 



Deep orange cup with red frilled edge. The perianth is pure white, 

 broadly overlapping, contrasting sharply with the highly colored crown, 

 This is an extremely refined and attractive flower of the greatest merit. 



DAWSON CITY Each 25c; Doz. $2.50 



A fine garden variety of excellent quality and of value for exhibition. 

 Broad flat perianth of smooth substance, well-formed flanged trumpet, 

 of a self golden yellow. 



DELAWARE Each $2.50 ; 3 for $6.50 



Somewhat similar to Daisy Schaffer; more delicately formed, a strong 

 grower and free flowering. Cup opens a golden quince color, changing 

 to creamy lemon and is deeply crinkled. Against the white background 

 of the perianth this combination of greenish-cream has a most pleasing 

 effect. Offered in the Novelty Collection. 



DICK WELLBAND Each 75c; 3 for $2.00; Doz. $7.50 



One of the finest in this class. The perianth is pure white and the cup 

 the brightest flame orange, making a striking contrast. One of its most 

 remarkable qualities is that the color of the cup does not fade but rather 

 intensifies with age. The flower lasts unusually long. A marvelous 

 exhibition variety and one of our favorites. M. 



DIOTIMA Each 50c ; 3 for $1.35 



Considered by many to be the best of the new super-giant yellow 

 trumpets. The flower is beautifully proportioned and is carried gracefully 

 on flattened tapering stems, two feet tall. The broad overlapping petals 

 form a star-shaped perianth of medium deep primrose, 5 to fci inches 

 across; trumpet slightly deeper in color. One of the top-notchers for 

 many years. E. 



ESKIMO Each $2.50 ; 3 for $6.50 



A huge white daffodil of fine build and great substance, with broad 

 perianth and very open trumpet; opens pale primrose and quickly 

 passes to pure white. A real gem, offered in the Novelty Collection. 



FIRETAIL Each 25c ; Doz. $2.50 



One of the most popular red-eyed Barriis. Broad petaled creamy white 

 perianth; crinkled orange cup with deep scarlet orange frill. An out- 

 standing flower of good form and substance. One of our favorites. M. 



FORTUNE Each $2.00 ; 3 for $5.00 



A huge incomparabilis of gorgeous coloring, borne on 24-inch stiff stems. 

 Wide perianth petals are solid bright yellow, held perfectly flat. The 

 crown is bold and heavy, brilliant coppery red-orange in color. Ex- 

 tremely early, coming into bloom almost a week ahead of most other 

 varieties. No daffodil collection is complete without Fortune — it will 

 be as widely grown as King Alfred when bulbs become plentiful. 



FORTUNE'S BLAZE 



Each $6.00 



One of the most highly colored of all the daffodils with which 1 am 

 familiar; a seedling of the famous Fortune, neither as tall nor as large 

 as the parent but of the most intense coloring imaginable. Perianth is 

 rich deep yellow, well overlapping, and the cup is solid deep orange red 

 clear to the base. 20 inches tall, midseason bloom. Very scarce. 



FORTUNE'S SUN Each $6.00 



Not as tall as either of the foregoing, but another very highly colored 

 flower. Broad overlapping perianth with somewhat spoon-shaped petals 

 of deep yellow. The large goblet shaped crown is orange with a band of 

 deeper orange red at the rim. Few bulbs. 



FRANCISCA DRAKE Each 25c ; Doz. $2.50 



An unusual flower of rare beauty. Perianth of silvery white, tinted gold 

 at the base, which shows through on the outside; cup wide and deep, 

 is golden yellow at the base, changing to flame-orange at the densely 

 frilled edge. Tall stems with flowers far above the foliage. M. 



HADES Each $1.50; 3 for $4.00 



A rather late flowering incomparabilis with a bright cup described as 

 "cherry red." This is set against background petals of soft creamy 

 white. This variety and Lady Kestevan' provide the most startling 

 contrast of color found in any of the daffodils. Tall wiry stems and good 

 sized flowers. 



HUGH POATE Each $14.00 



This is probably the most outstanding Fortune seedling to date. In 

 size, form and texture it leaves nothing to be desired. Perianth is smooth 

 velvety pure yellow, completely overlapping, and the crown is light 

 orange shading to yellow at the base, very wide and deep and fluted at 

 the edge. Tall, and looks right up at you.
