Many idle and ignorant Gardiners do call 
some of the Daffodils Narcissus , when as all 
know, that know any Latine that Narcissus is 
the Latine name and Daffodil the English of 
one and the same thing. 
The Daffodils offered herein are new and standard varieties 
of the better kinds, comprising the best of the European origin¬ 
ations. By planting a suitable selection, including the earliest 
and latest varieties, you can have Daffodils blooming in your 
garden for 4 to 6 weeks. 
Plant Daffodils in early September, if possible, as they make 
root growth in early fall, but they may be planted at any time 
after digging in July until the ground freezes. In a mixed 
border plant three or more bulbs of a variety 6 to 8 inches 
apart and 4 to 5 inches deep, according to size of bulb and 
character of soil—deeper in light than in heavy soils. Leed- 
siis, white Trumpets, Poets, and bicolors produce the finest 
flowers when grown in partial shade. 
Breeding daffodils is my hobby, and each year several thou¬ 
sand seedlings come into bloom. Anyone interested in fine 
daffodils is invited to inspect the seedlings, as well as the col¬ 
lection of 400 varieties. 
Double-nosed Daffodil bulbs will be supplied, and prices 
are per bulb unless otherwise stated. Orders accepted sub¬ 
ject to crop and previous sale. If any variety is sold out I 
will substitute a variety of similar character and value unless 
the purchaser instructs otherwise.
