WITH A FEW SPECIALLY DISTINCT SPECIES AND VARIETIES. 
Bulbs supplied September, October, November, and December. 
In Spring' our Collection of Daffodils underwent a very critical examination, which 
resulted in onr dividing it into two Sections. NO. 1 SECTION, embraces the highest class, 
and most distinct varieties, and far surpasses in beauty and rich diversity, any assortment of 
Daffodils ever before offered to the public. It contains the cream of our immense Collection 
(about 500 sorts), and consists mostly of new sorts, many of which were offered for the first 
time 1887, 1888, and 1889.

indicates the Daffodils which have been awarded Tirst-Class Certificates. Many of 
our finest Daffodils have not been Certificated, owing to their not being in condition when the 
Certificating Committees met. We simply name this to guard purchasers against supposing that 
those Certificated are the only varieties of high merit.
