Daffodils with Long Trumpets 
These are the great favorites among Daffodils, and are grown in immense numbers, 
both for the garden and pots. All are fine cut-flowers, and the first to come into flower 
is Golden Spur, the yellow Daffodil, a rich, solid yellow. Later comes Emperor with a 
much larger flower, in a lighter, but 
very pleasing yellow, while Empress 
is in two colors, the trumpet being 
yellow, perianth white. Victoria 
resembles Empress but is made 
pleasingly distinct by a broader 
trumpet; Grandis flowers after the 
others are all gone and is much like 
Empress, but a paler yellow. All 
are among the flowers best worth 
growing, and at the same price for 
good bulbs — s cts. each, 50 cts. per 
doz., $3 per 100. 
Of Emperor, Empress and 
Golden Spur I have a smaller bulb 
also solid and sure to give fine 
flowers, but at $2 per 100. At that price you can afford a good bed. These are the three 
sorts that you want plenty of. 
Like a giant Golden Spur is Glory of Leiden, one of the largest of all Daffodils. 
Look at its picture and see if it is not worth the 15 cts. each, or $1.50 per doz., that I 
charge. 
J. B. M. Camm is an exquisitely beautiful flower of a pale cream color, and well 
worth the 6 cts. each and 60 cts. per doz., that I charge. Buy a dozen, but not more. 
William Goldring, the Swan's Neck Daffodil, is a most distinct and graceful flower in 
pure white; 5 cts. each, and 50 cts. per doz. 
Empress, with lovely golden trumpets and 
white perianths 
Daffodils with Cup-shaped Trumpets 
I am rather partial to these, for while, with the exception of Sir Watkin, they lack 
the size of the previous section, the stems are long, the flowers gracefully poised, and 
to my liking they make much better cut-flowers. Take either a few flowers, with some 
of their own leaves for greenery, or many, and you have simply delightful bouquets. 
Then, too, there is no sameness in their forms, but each has some little individuality 
that endears it to you. 
Barrii Conspicuus, for instance, has a canary-yellow flower illuminated by a scarlet 
cup and is very long-stemmed. It lasts long and becomes almost white, and its great 
merit is its adaptability to naturaliz- 
ing. I know of no Daffodil that will 
take care of itself longer with less care. 
Just notice the very low price for this 
purpose on page 11. Fine flowering 
bulbs at 3 cts. each, 25 cts. per doz., 
$1.50 per 100. 
Cynosure, too, is a good thing and 
the flowers are light yellow, the cup 
just edged scarlet. Its price is the 
same, and for naturalizing I make a 
lower price. 
If you want something really fine 
get Stella superba, with its large star- 
shaped flower. Its rim is white, its 
cup yellow, and it lasts a very long 
time; 5 cts. each, 50 cts. per doz., $4 
per 100, but it is worth it. 
Sir Watkin is in a class by itself, as 
it is about as large as the giant long 
trumpets, but is a great light yellow 
wheel. (See illustration, p. 7.) Some 
Glory of Leiden of the flowers are 5 inches across. It
