X. DOUBLE DAFFODILS. 
The following list of Daffodils is composed of varieties we are 
able to secure in American-grown bulbs. We believe this to be the 
most representative collection of Daffodils offered to the American 
public, as well as that the bulbs we are able to supply come from 
the best source in this country. Although we have been rather 
doubtful in the past about what might be expected of American- 
grown bulbs, the results we have obtained in our own gardens and 
the reports we have had from a great many of our customers in¬ 
dicate that in many respects the bulbs we deliver are the equal of, 
or superior to those we knew before Quarantine No. 37 shut out the 
Holland stock. However, if used for house culture, more time must 
be given for root-growth, and at no stage can the growth he hurried. 
It must be kept in mind that quantities of many varieties are 
limited, and we can guarantee delivery only on early orders. In no 
case can we supply, on any one order, a larger quantity than that 
for which we quote prices. 
We wish to call attention to the number of novelties and rare 
varieties of which we can offer only a very few bulbs. It is our 
wish to supply Daffodil fanciers with the very finest introductions 
of the English and Dutch hybridists. Among the varieties of which 
we are able to sell only a bulb or two there are a number of rarely 
beautiful things. Our customers may be assured that our Blue Book 
will continue to reflect Mr. Hunt’s discriminating knowledge of what 
is fine in Daffodils. 
Please note that we offer only mature, double-nosed bulbs 
and our prices should not be compared with quotations on first 
size or round bulbs. 
Detailed planting directions a ’ill be included with the shipment of the 
bulbs. The figure following the name indicates the relative time of 
flowering.
