GLORY OF SASSENHEIM. An enlarged bi¬ 
color Victoria. Very fine for forcing and free- 
flowering. We grow an excellent stock of it. 
The bulbs do not always travel well and can¬ 
not stand being above ground too long- 8.00 
Round bulbs per 1,000 $55.00--—.. 6.00 
Y- GOLDEN SPUR. We offer a special strain of 
Western grown Golden Spur that is remarkably 
free-flowering. This strain, we understand, 
originally came from our nurseries at Hillegom, 
a stock which always produced large blooms 
and blue-green foliage and which was very 
floriferous. Few people realize what a differ¬ 
ence there is between one strain of “Spurs” 
and another. These are worth the price. 
Double-nosed bulbs ___ 7.00 
Round bulbs or No. 11 double-nosed ..-- 5.00 
-f, i GOLDEN HARVEST. This variety truly pro¬ 
duced a golden harvest for the fortunate intro¬ 
ducers. Magnificent in proportion and great 
size. Early. Each $15.00-.- - 
GOLDEN SCEPTRE. This is a result of a 
cross between Campernel and Monarch. Its 
fragrance points to one of its parents but its 
size has caused us to class it with the trumpet 
Narcissus. Fine color plate upon request_ 7.00 
HAROLD BEALE. Perfection in perianth and 
trumpet, very free flowering, coloring like 
Emperor, which is completely dwarfed in com¬ 
parison. Every one of our introductions can 
be relied upon for some valuable characteristics 
such as great size, clear color and fine keeping 
qualities. Besides that, each one has some spe¬ 
cial advantage for which it was selected. This 
one forces very easily_ 20.00 
HERBERT SMITH. Sharply pointed light yel¬ 
low perianth, long fluted yellow trumpet of 
noble form, sturdy plant-______ 15.00 
Round bulbs ----- 10.00 
JOHN CAIRNS. Remarkable clear yellow self, 
a firm quality to perianth and trumpet, free- 
flowering with long stems. A first class mar¬ 
ket flower of the “Giant” tribe, and a superb 
decorative garden variety_ 15.00 
JOHN FARQUHAR. Our spring 1929 field 
notes say: “Solid yellow trumpet, very wide 
“at base and opening wider at the brim, ex., 
“ex., substantial perianth. Later than Giant, 
“much more substance, extra cutflower and 
“presume wonderful pan Daff. I think very 
“highly of this, bright and satisfying. Ex., 
“broad petaled, sulphur yellow perianth, cor- 
“rectly placed. This block makes an over¬ 
whelming impression. Reduce sales and work 
“up much larger stock of it.”..—.. 25.00

refined appearance. Color plate upon request.

MAJESTIC. Attractive seedling of King Alfred 
and Cleopatra. Perianth and trumpet of very 
refined appearance. All yellow. A show vari¬ 
ety. Each $0.50.... . 
MAJOR TRUMPET. Yellow, an old floriferous 
variety, very early___ 3.50 
Round bulbs per 1,000 $20.00-__ 3.00 
MINISTER TALMA. As King Alfred, only 
slightly smaller, much better than Golden Spur. 
It is particularly good for forcing, being earlier 
than Alfred. Getting a bit scarce now. 
Double-nosed bulbs ___ 7.00 
Extra round ____ 5.00 
MRS. E. H. KRELAGE. A charming visitor, 
standing before a bed of this exquisite variety 
asked us: “Is this the White King Alfred?” 
That question conveys quite satisfactorily the 
impression its flowers make. But how much 
more convincing is a good half-tone! It por¬ 
trays so accurately the pristine purity of this 
regal flower, the play of light on its balanced 
petalage, the graceful curve of the trumpet’s 
brim. An excellent propagator, producer of 
large sound bulbs. Easy to force, long stem¬ 
med. Has no rival at the shows. 
Strong bulbs _ 18.00 
Round bulbs ____ 13.00 
MRS. R. O. BACKHOUSE. Perianth white, 
trumpet pale apricot pink. About the size of a 
small old Princeps. Nodding posture. If it were 
not for the fact that Narcissus trumpets have 
been either yellow or white for ages and that 
this seedling shows a slightly deeper pinkish 
cast than the old variety Apricot, we would 
class it as an insignificant garden variety of no 
great merit. As it is, one has to stand rather 
close to it to even see the pink reflex. But it 
is undeniably there. Each $5.00_ A..!..'_ 
OLYMPIA. A much improved and enlarged 
Emperor, very free-flowering and exceptionally 
hardy. This giant trumpet is now priced so 
low that it can be ranked as a leading com¬ 
mercial cutflower variety__ ___ 10.00 
Round bulbs, per 1,000 $65.00 _ 7.00 
ORESTES. Size, form and general appearance 
like that of our famous “Whistler,” perianth 
just a trifle darker. Rapid, reliable propagator. 
The stock of this giant variety can be bought 
in its entirety with privilege of re-naming it to 
suit the purchaser.... .. 20.00 
PETER BARR. A fine white. Perianth pure 
white, trumpet ivory white. Much better 
grower than Mad. de Graaff and Sulphur 
Beauty; foliage has a bluish green tint which 
enhances the beauty of the flower. Height 
14 to 15 inches when in full bloom __ 20.00 
PRINCE OF WALES. Light yellow, bold and 
free-flowering, extra. Bound to be a winner of 
many prizes when better known__ 15.00
