RED GUARD. We draw particular attention to 
the fact that this variety displays a decided 
copper apricot tint in the perianth, an important 
advance towards the all-orange Daffodil. The 
form and the texture of the petals is all that can 
be desired and they overlap perfectly. The cup 
is a magnificent solid blazing orange red. An 
additional value is found in its habit of fre¬ 
quently producing two flowers to a 20 inch 
stem. We who see so many beautiful kinds, 
observe the glorious metamorphosis of “Red 
Guard”, from bud to full blown bloom, with 
ever renewed ecstasy. Each $18.00___ 
SEA GULL. Large spreading pure white peri¬ 
anth, cup canary yellow edged apricot; very 
charming --- 5.00 
SUNRISE. White with primrose bar down the 
center of each petal, large open crown of 
orange yellow with scarlet margin, a decidedly 
new color arrangement that is peculiarly 
attractive - i 3.00 
WATCHFIRE. Pale sulphur poeticus perianth, 
dark orange cup; exquisite novelty. A Chinese 
red cup set on a saucer of new gold_ 13.00 
LEEDSII 
We present a very beautiful collection 
of this type 
Per 100 
ALBINIA. (Syn. White Slave.) Much like 
White Lady, but a broader more heavily 
crinkled cup. At comparative exhibitions it 
outpoints White Lady in every respect. Not as 
fast a propagator. As happens so often in such 
cases, the faster grower gets the popularity al¬ 
though its other qualities may be less than its 
slower sister __ § 4.50 
BIANCA. A late blooming form of Evangeline. 
While there is much similarity in the blooms of 
some varieties, still, in making up collections 
for drifts in woodlands the importance of early, 
midseason or late flowering must not be over¬ 
looked. To lengthen the period of blooming 
by two or three weeks adds much value to such 
plantings - 400 
CRYSTAL QUEEN. Pure white rerianth, pale 
primrose cup passing to clear paperwhite after¬ 
wards. Flowers normally 3)4 inches across, 
but we have picked dozens that reached 4 
inches. Long stems. Opinions differ, for¬ 
tunately, about the merits of the various 
straight cupped Giant Leedsii like Lord Kit¬ 
chener, Sirdar and White Colossus, but to us, 
taking size of bloom, form, color, length of 
stem and health into consideration, Crystal 
Queen is the “Magnificentissimus” of that price 
group. It faces forward, even slightly upwards 
when in full bloom and is usualE present at 
the big shows in the prize win' ing entries; 
strong bulbs ______ ’ 9 qq 
DIANA. Flaring white petalage, informally 
twisted, large flat lemon yellow cup with finely 
crinkled edge. Very long strong stems. Un¬ 
usually floriferous _ g qq
