CARL PURDY, UKIAH, CALIFORNIA 
DAFFODILS WITH CUP-SHAPED TRUMPETS, 
tinued 
is also known as the "Welsh Giant," and can be had for 4 cts. each, 40 cts. per doz., 
$3 per 100, with smaller but good bulbs at $2. 
When I want to send a friend Daffodils that I know will please, I send a good 
bunch of Mrs. Langtry. Somehow our Californians do not seem to have discovered 
this fine flower, which has every virtue of a good Daffodil. The flowers are of a fair 
size, and at first a rich creamy white, just tinted with gold, and later they become 
pure white. They are most beautifully formed and very lasting. Like Barrii Conspicuus 
the plant takes care of itself and naturalizes easily in fair soils. They are very cheap at 
.2 cents each, 25 cts. per doz., and $2 per 100, and if you wish a few thousands I will 
make them much cheaper. 
Katherine Spurrell can only be described by one word and that is exquisite. The 
fully rounded flower is pure white and of a satiny texture, and I know of no more lovely 
sort. 6 els. each, 60 cts. per doz. 
It has been the ambition of every Daffodil producer to breed an all-red flower, 
and C. J. Backhouse is as near as they have arrived. A little under size, the flower is 
■deep yellow, suffused throughout with scarlet. It is really well worth having, and 
the price of 4 cts. each, 40 cts. per doz., is reasonable. 
These are entirely distinct from the previous classes and favorites with all flower 
lovers, and one hardly knows which he loves best of these lovable sorts. Both are 
superb for naturalizing, and planting among shrubbery. 
JONQUILS have three great merits. First, they are among the very earliest 
flowers to bloom and do well cither potted or in the garden; and next, they have a rich 
yellow color, and lastly, a very pleasing fragrance. The)' are a (lower that every one 
should have in hundreds, and the clumps can stay for years and will flower freely each 
year. Buy at least a hundred. 
There are two sorts. Jonquil Campernelles are small-flowered, with several 
flowers to the stem. This is the variety sold so cheaply by all dealers, and the one 
most seen. I sell these at 2 cts. each, 15 cts. per doz., Si per 100; but for Jonquil 
Rugulosus, which is far larger and finer, I ask 25 cts. per doz.,, $1.50 per J 00.
