Even if no traces of pests are to be found, it is most advisable to 
make it a practice to fumigate once a week as a preventive.

New Daffodils 
Louisa Y. King 
It was the Reverend Joseph Jacob whose articles in The Garden 
several years ago, first called my attention to the interest of the 
daffodil collecting, I bought fifty varieties suggested by this article, 
and immensely enjoyed watching, cutting and comparing them. Some 
of these, especially among the Poets, still have a warm place in my 
affections. Years passed since I had tried new varieties, but this 
spring ten or twelve remarkable flowers opened along a walk in the 
trial garden, and the development in form and color of some of these 
was astonishing. 
Two Incomparablis Narcissi, Miss Willmott and Great Warley, 
(the great gardener and her village) were remarkably fine — Tres serve 
is a splendid trumpet; immense and of fine form — Loveliness is named 
to suit its looks; Sirdar is also a glorious flower, and among the poets, 
Salmonetta is entirely charming — best planted among early orange 
colored Tulips — or paley ellow ones, but preferably orange; with 
Arabis, single or double running in and out among all. 
There is a use too of Daffodils which I venture to believe is seldom 
made, but which from our experience should become common where 
contrast of color is desired in spring. It is the coupling of this flower 
with the pale or deep violet Hyacinth, the single Hyacinth. Streams 
of these last, say of Schotel, Lord Derby, Enchantress, King of the 
Blues, running in and out of floods of Daffodils Katherine S purr ell, 
Ariadne, Madame de GraJJ, cheap varieties, these we had last spring
