Good Water-colour Paintings of any Daffodils can be supplied (to order) 
during the Daffodil flowering season at the rate of 7s. 6d. per bloom. 
Orders should be given early. 
Beautiful New Daffodils 
of 1899 and I9OO. 
Including the Rev. Q. H. Engleheart’s Famous Seedlings. 
The following varieties of Daffodils are some of the best of the recently raised seedlings, and pur- 
chasers cannot fail to be pleased with them. In point of quality they all rank high, while a robust 
healthy constitution renders them additionally valuable. They will well repay a good culture by the size 
and beauty of their flowers, and should therefore be planted in a good deep loamy soil. 
For Giant Trumpets we can strongly recommend Big Ben and Duke of Bedford , while Maggie May 
may be termed the Queen of the Leedsii Section for its size, grace, and beauty. 
In italics we give the name of the introducer. 
The varieties marked t are suitable for pots as well as for the border.
