Evangeline, Queen of the North, and White Lady are short- 
cupped Leedsii that are admirably fitted for naturalizing, the 
three, beginning with Evangeline and ending with White Lady, 
give a long succession of bloom. They all flower freely and 
increase rapidly. While they are delightful in woodland, their 
height and profusion of bloom make them very effective in the 
border. This is especially true of Queen of the North. Mrs. 
Nette McElveny might be described as a glorified Queen of the 
North. Hera, a very late small-cupped Leedsii, is a flower of the 
greatest distinction, cool, chaste, exquisite. Laughing Water, 
almost a giant Leedsii, is a graceful and lovely Narcissus. It is 
very tall, very early, and free flowering. It is altogether de¬ 
lightful for cutting and in the border. 
With the giant Leedsii, of which we offer five noble examples, 
we reach the class in which perhaps the greatest advance has 
been made by the hybridizer. It is hard to choose among them. 
Southern Gem is the first to bloom, joyously, prodigally. Sirdar, 
tall, exquisite, dignified, follows it closely. Before Sirdar has 
quite gone, indeed overlapping it, Crystal Queen takes its place. 
It with its height, its fine form and substance, its carriage and 
large size is perhaps from the gardener’s point of view the most 
useful of the Giant Leedsii in general commerce. We are, how¬ 
ever, offering for the first time Mrs. Percy Neale, outstanding in 
every way. Broad, symmetrical perianth, snow white, short, 
widely-opened trumpet with broad imbricated rim. It is very 
tall, mid-season to late, and has an endurance both as a cut 
flower and in the border almost unequalled in our experience. 
Last comes Her Grace, which with its overlapping snowy perianth 
and finely modeled ivory crown, makes a perfect climax.

The Jonquilla with their rush-like foliage, entire hardiness 
and delicious fragrance, form a fascinating group. Jonquilla 
Simplex is small and daintier than Single Campernel, but the 
latter is a more telling garden form. Juncifolius is an engaging 
mite, perianth segments only one-third of an inch long, and 
three to four blossoms on a four-inch stem. The stock of this 
is extremely limited. Of the larger hybrid forms the most useful 
perhaps is Golden Sceptre. This is a cross between Campernel 
and Ajax, is a large, pure golden-yellow flower, a most effective 
garden plant. No other Narcissus in our collection has so long 
and profuse a bloom. Buttercup is smaller, later, and a softer 
tone of yellow. Latest of all to bloom is Tullus Hostilius, 
about the shade of Buttercup, but a rather later and more vigorous 
flower.
