Narcissi - Daffodils 
The past few years have seen tremendous progress in the de¬ 
velopment of tlie Daffodil. Magnificent new varieties are now 
available and if you are a lover of Daffodils may we suggest you 
plant a few bulbs of 'such kinds as Lord Louis Mountbatten, 
Lovenest, Mrs. R. O’. Backhouse, John Evelyn, Loudspeaker, or 
Moonshine. Many of our friends are growing some, selling the 
yearly increase to acquaintances, making a handsome profit on 
their investment as well as having a pleasant hobby.

forgettable. An excellent grower. Easy to force,
