TRIANDRUS ALBUS. The “Angels’ Tears” 
of old Portugal. Creamy white trumpet which 
points down while the sharply recurved petals 
point upwards. Flowers are about % inch long 
on 6 inch stems. Prefers gritty soil between 
rocks. Requires considerable care, but its grace 
and delicate beauty fully reward the patient 
and persistent gardener. Subject to crop.

TRIANDRUS THALIA. In addition to a pecu¬ 
liar attraction at first sight, this flower leaves 
a wish for something that seems missing. One 
can’t say what it is, and yet one feels decidedly 
that a mysterious want exists. Is it the white¬ 
ness that is not white, or the recurving petals 
and the angle of the three trumpets, so unlike 
the conventional type? Or the dark green 
round reed-like stem? Some call it the “orchid 
flowered” Narcissus, which adds to the mystery. 
Why “orchid flowered”? Thalia provides un¬ 
usually good material for artistic photographs. 
At the flower shows its “spell” evokes endless

WILLIAM GOLDRING. (Swan’s Neck Daffo¬ 
dil). Pale primrose passing off white. Grace¬ 
fully drooping flowers of medium size and not 
much substance, but blooming early and easily 
establishing itself in clumps in the border 
where it displays a charm all its own. Stock 
very limited __...__ 18.00

W. P. MILNER. Miniature white trumpet and 
perianth. Eminently satisfactory for rockeries 
because it seldom fails to establish itself and 
to bloom generously for years. Only 11 inches 
high. Exceedingly attractive when forced in 
small bowls. Endowed with the fragrance of 
the Cowslip. Very free-flowering_ 15.00 
NARC. TRIANDRUS 
The dainty Wm. P. Milner is a 
delightful subject for pans or orna¬ 
mental bowls. 
“Your exhibit at Nuttall was a revelation to me. 
My husband and I talked about it all the way 
home. We have long been admirers and collectors 
of the bearded Iris varieties, but we have now 
definitely turned to the newer Daffodils, or 
‘Narcissi’ as you insist on calling them.” 
“Please advise me where I can place my order.”

"PRESIDENT VIGER” 
You have a delightful surprise coming to you. 
Visualize, if you can, a petunia flowered crown, 
heavily serrated, crisped and crested, gauffered and 
ruffled, backed by a broad white perianth of Sir 
Watkin dimensions. We mean Sir Watkin at its 
best. The heavy pleating of the crown intensifies 
the yellow tone so that it teems to reflect an 
orange hue. Two and three flowers per bulb. Long 
stems, early. A prized possession of this com¬ 
pany. We offer a few hundred bulbs this year.
