GIANT TRUMPET DAFFODILS 
We just wish you could see these Giants growing on the Hast- 
ings’ Plantation. These new and rare varieties are the biggest 
daffodils that have ever been grown. They are so easily grown 
that no home or garden is complete without them. Every bulb 
blooms and multiplies so you have more and more each succeeding 
year. They bloom every spring and do fine in pots, boxes and 
bowls of water in the house during the winter and outdoors for 
the early spring beds, borders and lawn or garden plots. They 
make the most beautiful cut flowers as well as pot or basket plants. 
Daffodils just naturally do well in the South, w'hether you care 
for them attentively or whether you only set them out in the lawn. 
They are so graceful and beautiful, so rich in color and so de- 
lightful for all flower purposes that you cannot grow too many. 
Many friends here in Atlanta plant our Daffodils by the thousands 
^nd come back for more and other varieties to add to the charm of 
their permanent home collections. All of us should gro\v them in 
profusion for home beautifying and cut flowers and many have 
found that selling the flowers locally or to florists pays hand- 
some profits. 
Ollltliro ^ simple rule is to cover the bulb one and a half 
tinaes its own depth, planting bulbs 5 to G inches 
apart, depending on the size. For greenhouse, hot bed, window or 
house culture treat the same as Hyacinths, except that 3 or more 
bulbs of one variety are planted in each pot instead of single spec- 
imens. All of Hastings’ Giant Daffodils are hardy and may be 
planted most any time during the fall months. They are the finest 
and largest Daffodils in the world. You will be proud to know that 
no one can buy or grow them superior to yours.
