HARDY DAFFODILS FOR NATURALIZATION IN GRASS, ETC. 
A SELECTION OF 
CHEAP DAFFODILS for naturalization IN CRASS, «fcc. 
On page 3 will be found an extract from Mr. William Robinson’s Paper read at the Conference on 
Hardy Flowers, Chiswick, July 8 and 9, 1891. The grand effect produced, combined with the pleasure he 
enjoyed at Gravetye Manor from Narcissi planted in meadow, orchard, and OAK grove, was such as he 
might have experienced in an Alpine valley, but with this difference, he could gaze on the scene and enjoy 
the pleasure daily, and all this at a comparatively small outlay. 
SELECTIONS OF DAFFODILS, Groups I., II., and III., 
To plant in Grass, Orchards, Woodland Walks, Shrubberies, and by Streams and Lakes.

The Peerless Daffodils, or Chalice cupped Star Narcissi, mixed 
colours (Incomparabilts, Barrii, and Leedsii varieties) for 
naturalization in grass, &c. The grand effect of these light graceful 
Daffodils must be seen to be realized as naturalized plants. Their 
value as cut flowers for bouquets and vases cannot be over-estimated. 
(See what Mr. William Robinson says of them, page 3)

far as we have knowledge, in the following list.
