HIGH GRADE BULBtS FOR AUTUMH PLANTING 



The Incomparable, Chalice-Cup and Crown 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. These hybrid 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 of soil or bowls of fibre for winter flowers, they are splendid, and as cut flowers are greatly prized. The red rimmed varieties sometimes lose 

 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. 



THE INCOMPARABLE DAFFODILS. 



NARCISSUS INCOMPARABILIS. 



The Incomparabilis Group are garden hybrids between yellow Trumpets and 

 Poeticus. Characteristic: depth of crown -J to | the length of a perianth petal. 

 They are all perfectly hardy, thrive under garden culture or naturalized, and 

 for flowering in the house or green house in winter are unsurpassed. The 

 flowers are all large, often 4 inches across and are borne freely on long stems.
