DAFFODILS 
Daffodils come with their flowers of bright yellow at the season when skies are darkened and flow- 
ers are few. They are doubly welcome. The flowers are gracefully poised on their stems and make 
excellent cut flowers. You can plant out under the trees in clusters, or in the permanent border. 
Wherever they are planted they will remain to blossom each year, for they are perfectly hardy. It is 
better to remove bulbs in the garden every second or third year, except Poeticus, which do not like 
to be moved. 
Daffodil is the name applied to that branch of the Narcissus family having one flower only to a stem: 
these are the large Trumpet Daffodils; Short Trumpet or Crown Daffodils and Double Daffodils. These 
may also properly be termed Narcissus, which also includes Polyanthus or cluster-flowered Narcissus, and 
Poeticus or Poet's Narcissus. Jonquils are like small-sized crown Daffodils, although the term properly be- 
longs only to the Single Sweet Scented Jonquil. 
Wonderful strides have been made in breeding New Daffodils, and we offer you some of the very best 
In Olympia, King- Alfred, and Giant of The Giants. For wonderful flowers try these. 
Plant Daffodils in October and November out in the open ground in good soil and let them remain un- 
disturbed. After flowering let the leaves die back, but do not cut them off or the bulb will not flower next 
year. Set 5 inches deep and 8 inches to 12 inches apart. The bulbous roots will multiply and send up 
fine long flower stems every spring. Be sure to keep the ground moist during the growing season if 
season is dry. 
They can also be grown easily in pots, putting 4 or 5 bulbs into a 5-inch pot and keep well watered. 
LARGE TRUMPET DAFFODILS 
(Postage is additional. Allow 1% lbs. per doz.; 12 lbs. per 100, except for Emperor.) 
GRAND NEW S9ETS 
King 1 Alfred: Truly a king among flowers. Stems are tall and the flowers very large with perianth 
4% inches across. The trumpet is long, and deep yellow and elegantly frilled. It flares out consider- 
ably at the edge and is 2 inches across. King Alfred caused great wonder at the P. P. I. E. gardens. 
We had several clusters growing in our beds. This Daffodil can be forced and gives magnificent 
flowers. A winner of many prizes. Finest bulbs. 75c each; $7.50 per doz. 
Olympia: Of wonderful size and beauty. Olympia is entirely different from King Alfred; it is a much 
lighter color and of quite different form. The trumpet is shorter, lighter in color and the perianth not so 
large and of a deep cream yellow color. A very pleasing flower. 50c each; $5.00 per doz. 
Giant of Giants Morse's: Truly enormous and the very latest and finest of daffodils. This will attract 
attention everywhere. We are glad to have the honor to introduce this grand sort to our customers, for 
we know the high quality expected from us. There will be no disappointment in this truly marvelous 
Daffodil. 75c each; $7.50 per doz. (See Illustration, page 7.) 
Cornelia: Fine yellow trumpet sort much larger than Emperor. 30o each; $3.00 per doz.
