THE TRUMPET CLASS 
( Continued ) 
Per 100 
BEERSHEBA. Perianth and trumpet of mag¬ 
nificent proportions. Sturdy foliage and stem. 
Height 20-22 inches. Its color is not pure 
white, yet is expressive of purity in the high¬ 
est sense. Those who are forming collections 
of fine Narcissus rate Beersheba at the top of 
the large white Trumpets. Each $8.00—- 
CERVANTES. Creamy perianth, primrose trum¬ 
pet, desirable only for its remarkable earliness 
and free-flowering tendency. One of our friends 
wrote Jan. 15, 1930, “We were first with a 
batch of potted Cervantes which sold like ring¬ 
side seats.” Per 1,000 $35.00--- $ 4.50 
CHICAGO. Trumpet very dark rich yellow, 
perianth deep sulphur yellow, beautifully over¬ 
lapping and of perfect form and proportion. 
One of the very brightest trumpet Daffodils, 
larger than Emperor. Midseason to late 
blooming .... 12.00 
CORNELIA. In every respect an improved 
Emperor. Just a trifle larger, a bit clearer in 
color, trumpet form the same as Emperor but 
more frilled at the mouth. Excellent texture for 
long distance shipping..— 8.00 
DR. NANSEN. Large sturdy bloom, yellow 
trumpet with slightly lighter perianth. Broad 
foliage and sturdy stem. A variety that, in the 
hands of a good impresario, would soon be 
talked about from Coast to Coast.... 20.00 
DUKE OF YORK. Magnificent yellow trumpet 
on cream colored guard petals. Conspicuous 
and valuable on account of its exceptionally 
long stems. Approaches Robert Sydenham in 
size. Very desirable for cutflower shippers who 
wish to build up an exclusive trade. 2,000 bulbs, 
round and double-nosed.... 18.00

which all other yellow trumpet varieties are

FAIR BOSTONIAN. Named for a young lady 
from New England who was requested to pick 
out the finest seedling of a particular lot she 
was admiring. Upon being asked if it might 
carry her name to grace the gardens of many 
countries, she modestly but firmly declined. 
Her wishes were fully respected but the flower 
was named for her just the same. It is a bi-

color of very refined appearance, belongs in 
the “Giant” class and will be planted with the 
choicest kinds in many gardens.

FRED HOWARD. A near bicolor like Van 
Waveren’s Giant, perianth soft sulphur yellow, 
nearly white when forced. Trumpet slightly 
softer yellow than King Alfred, an intriguing 
shade. The brim deeply serrated and nicely 
pleated. A flower of delicate harmony in form 
and color. Medium early. Trumpet faces 
straight from the flat perianth. A subtly tinted 
beauty. Late bloomer--—-- 20.00 
G. H. VAN WAVEREN. Selected to bear the 
name of the successful hybridizer, who could 
always be found amongst his daffodils in the 
Springtime. Quiet, kindly and unassuming as 
he was, it is very doubtful that he would have 
sanctioned the use of his name in connection 
with such a bold gorgeous flower. All yellow, 
with gleaming gold dust shimmering in the 
texture. Early .-.. 30.00
