NARCISSUS INCOMPARABILIS 
This class contains the largest red 
crown varieties 
Per 100 
ALCESTE. A superb bicolor in snow-white and 
darkest yellow. Texture like soft parchment 
and perfection on points of symmetry. In a - 
class with “Her Grace”—__ $25.00 
ARGENT. Two sets of six silvery white petals 
and two bright yellow cups gracefully imposed 
upon each other in alternate rows, forming a 
charming open faced double Incomp. The rib¬ 
bon like cups are nicely plaited and crinkled, 
the whole makes a lovely and friendly impres¬ 
sion. Sturdy tall stems and foliage_ '5.00 
ARTEMIS. Ivory to pure white perianth, very 
substantial texture, large fluted cup of deep 
yellow. Good height and size. A very charming 
bicolor Incomp, of nice proportions. This is 
an early forcing variety, quite attractive in pans 5.00 
AUTOCRAT. Perianth and cup deep sunny 
yellow, pointed petals. A very free flowering 
excellent variety for cutting and especially valu¬ 
able for mass effect in naturalized woodland 
plantings ___ 6.00 
BERNARDINO. Perianth cream colored, the 
frilled and fluted cup stained deep apricot- 
orange at its edge. A good hardy grower which 
forms nice clumps in the garden in a short time. 
Earned several awards of merit _ 5.50 
CROESUS. Tales of gold and other riches, self 
sufficiency and haughty superiority. A name 
that lived thru the ages. “Who can surpass 
Croesus”? So spoke that ancient monarch at 
the height of his glory. And so speaks to us 
Narcissus “Croesus” today. A six petaled disk 
of pure gold proudly supports the deep red 
crown. What a crown! And what a stem! A 
plant with two or three flowers unfolded, is a 
sensation to behold, a real treasure in the 
garden _______ 13.00 
DIADEME. Creamy white perianth, very broad 
yellow crown edged bright orange. A choice 
companion to Autocrat, Blood Orange and 
others in large plantings under trees and in 
“vista” landscape work. Late. Per 1,000, $40.00. 5.00 
DOSORIS. Round pure white perianth, flat solid 
tangerine red crown. As each one of these new 
beauties passes the revue, the biographer often 
pauses to find words that will adequately por¬ 
tray the individual character of the subject. 
They are so different in many details, and word 
pictures, necessarily limited in a wholesale cata¬ 
logue, cannot do justice to all. “Dosoris” is a 
beauty, plant it and see for yourself......... 13.00 
FRANK MILES. One. of the best of the yellow 
Incomps., particularly good for naturalizing. 
True stock very scarce_ 0.00 
Per 100 
GLORIA MUNDI. Fine yellow perianth, widely 
expanded yellow crown, stained rich orange, 
nearly scarlet at the edge.. 6.00 
HOMESPUN. Judges of fine Daffodils praise 
this variety highly for its finished appearance. 
Perianth nicely rounded, each petal overlapping 
the other and of a soft yellow shade, crown 
beautifully frilled and of a richer tone than the 
perianth - 6.00 
JOHN EVELYN. A striking flower amongst the 
newer giant Incomps. Massive looking, solid 
and well rounded perianth of a deep creamy 
white, large deep crown with double frill, tinted 
rich tangerine orange. Stems about 20 inches. 
This superlatively beautiful creation carries the 
sign of aristocracy, its presence in the show col¬ 
lection raises the standard conspicuously. 
Each $3.00 _ _ 
LUCIFER. A lovely glowing orange fluted cup 
surrounded by long flowing white petals make 
this a showy messenger of spring. Of decid¬ 
edly cheerful appearance in the border, in 
woodland meadows, or in bowls and vases, it 
has rapidly become a standard variety in the 
catalogues. It bears gentle forcing. Who can 
forget the huge perfect pans of it at the New 
York flower shows, 3 to 5 flowers per bulb? 
Excellent color plate with every order for 500 
bulbs or more. Per 1,000 $40.00_ 5.00 
ORANGE GLOW. A striking advance in breed¬ 
ing. Clear golden yellow perianth of excellent 
dimensions, delightfully frilled crown of great 
depth and width, stained a deep orange. This 
magnificent flower measures 4% to 5 inches 
across under good care. Each $8.00___ 
PRESIDENT VIGERt Type and size of Sir 
Watkin. Petals opening pale yellow, passing 
to white, crown very heavily crested and 
crinkled, like Begonia Cristata, very deep yel¬ 
low. John Evelyn has the same sort of cup but 
not so heavily crinkled. We are advised that 
this interesting flower was first found in a 
large lot of Sir Watkin which would make it a 
bud variation or sport. Fine propagator. 
Each $0.50 ___ 45.00 
QUEEN OF HEARTS. Extra fine midseason 
variety. Ivory white overlapping petals sur¬ 
round a conspicuous yellow cup % inch wide, 
the outer half of which is like a band of deep 
orange. Flowers face forward. A great beauty 15.00 
RED CROSS. A trifle better yet than Orange 
Glow in some experts’ eyes. Our unbounded 
admiration must go out to the English Hy¬ 
bridizers of red cupped Narcissus for their 
splendid work in perfecting these types. Mid¬ 
season. Each $ 12.00 . __
