THE JONQUILS AND CAMPERNELS 
Per 100 
SINGLE JONQUIL. We take pleasure in pre¬ 
senting a speaking likeness, (on page 26) of 
Jonquilla Simplex or sweet scented Jonquil, the 
original true Jonquil of ancient history. This 
graceful species is native of Southern France. 
Its perfume calls one to the spot where it raises 
its lovely clusters of 3 to 8 golden yellow 
florets. No other flower, except perhaps, the 
violet, adds such delightful fragrance to the 
spring garden. It is hardy everywhere and 
has pretty “rush”-like foilage. Campernels are 
often furnished instead of the true Jonquilla 
but this is unnecessary, for the sweet Jonquilla 
luxuriates in our soils and produces bulbs much 
larger than used to come from Holland. Very 
effective in deep pockets near the base of rock¬ 
eries and in perennial borders. $40.00 per 1,000 
strong bulbs __— _ 5.00 
DOUBLE JONQUILS. As the name implies, 
a double form of the above, very charming but 
a little less fragrant. Very scarce. .... 8.50 
SINGLE CAMPERNEL (Narcissus Odorus). 
Also native of Southern France, bearing 2 to 5 
soft yellow florets, delightfully fragrant. Larger 
than the sweet Jonquilla. This original species 
is still planted in large numbers for its grace 
and perfume. It has been used by hybridizers 
to some extent with good results, as our list 
indicates; per 1,000 $35.00___ 4.50 
CAMPERNEL PLENUS. Very fine double 
form, beautiful golden yellow, 2-4 florets per 
stem _ 6.00 
Per 100 
CAMPERNEL ORANGE QUEEN. This form 
is of that shade of yellow which, although not 
an orange, strongly suggests that shade. It is 
of larger size than its parent and of firmer 
texture __—-- ^.00 
CAMPERNEL REGULOSUS. Well known 
early improvement of the parent form, stronger 
and deeper yellow. LTpon request we furnish 
a beautiful color plate of this variety with your 
order, per 1,000 $40.00--—-- 
CAMPERNEL GIGANTEUS. The finest and 
best of the hybrids. Size, perfume and foliage 
are superior to any of the preceding forms. A 
very fine fragrant cutflower variety; as its 
clusters are impressive, a dozen stems make a 
very nice looking bunch for the market. Forces 
readily and early; per 1,000 $50.00 - 
GRACILIS. Resembles Jonquilla simplex. Pale 
yellow with deep yellow eye. Opens a week 
later and generally produces larger heads than 
the Single Jonquil. Sweet scented---- 
GRACILIS TENUIOR. Charming dwarf vari¬ 
ety, only 8-9 inches high. Petals silvery white, 
tiny yellow cups. Opens two weeks later than 
Gracilis, several florets on a stem. In old cata¬ 
logues this variety was called “The Silver Jon¬ 
quil.” Very rarely met with either here or 
abroad -----

rush-leaved types, petals about 1/3 inch long, 
dainty flat cups about 1/6 inch wide. 3-4 
bright yellow blossoms on a 4 inch stem. De¬ 
lightfully perfumed. Our stock has been col¬ 
lected in the Pyrenees-.. 10.00 
THE TRUMPET CLASS 
The remarkable advance in the size and symmetry of Trumpet Narcissus, as heralded by King Alfred, Olympia, 
Van Waveren’s Giant, was but a stepping stone to greater achievements. Robert Sydenham followed, then Aeolus, that 
superb bicolor, then G. H. Van Waveren and Whistler. Somewhere in their range of majestic beauty we must find 
places for Fair Bostonian, Fred Howard, John Farquhar, Prince of Wales, Orestes, Duke of York and Saturnus. V hat 
magnificent perianths and boldly sculptured trumpets. We have grown every one of these stocks from one single bulb 
to such quantities as enable us to meet a reasonable demand at a reasonable price. And so we place before you the 
finest collection of the most wonderful trumpet Narcissus ever seen together. These \ an Waveren introductions are 
truly in a class by themselves, just as the M arean Dahlias, the Bodger Zinnias, the Wrexham Delphiniums are in a class 
of their own. They are the aristocrats of the shows and they will presently take over the place in the garden and in 
the greenhouse, now held by older forms. That these are not idle expressions of pardonable enthusiasm, is substan¬ 
tiated by the fact that a consortium of astute bulbgrowers in Holland bought one of our trumpet varieties for the 
capital sum of $40,000. It has been introduced by them under the name “Madame Van Waveren.” It is an exquisite 
easy forcing Giant bicolor. Other Holland bulbgrowers are patiently growing and acquiring all they can get of 
Robert Sydenham, Van Waveren's Giant, Aeolus, etc. 
Practically all these Giant varieties are offered to our American trade at prices materially lower than we can 
obtain in Holland. They add prestige and reputation to your catalogue and to your house. 
AEOLUS. Snow white perianth, long yellow 
trumpet with beautifully frilled and recurved 
brim. A giant exhibition variety. As far as 
we know, this is the largest, most perfect bi¬ 
color in existence today. Its colors are pure, 
its dimensions strikingly symmetrical. The 
flower is slightly tilted upwards, presenting its 
full beauty directly to the eye. No other bi- 
Per 100 
color has caused such a sensation, wherever it 
is shown, as this Van Waveren seedling. If the 
stock were in the hands of other growers, the 
bulbs could not be had at ten times the price. 
Exclusively offered by us to our regular cus¬ 
tomers at a truly low price for such a splendid 
introduction.
