The varieties in these assortments consist largely of the fine hybrids and varieties raised by the late 
Mr. William Backhouse and Mr. Edward Leeds. They are all distinct one from the other, so that buyers cannot 
fail to be fully satisfied with them. Daffodils in these assortments may all be used for pot-culture or forced 
for cut flowers, or planted in beds, in flower borders, naturalized in grass, in woodland walks, orchards, by 
streams, lakes, etc., the effect in Spring far surpassing that of any other family of plants.
