Poetaz Narcissi, Concluded. 
Orange Globe. (3). Light sulphur-yellow petals, with deep orange eye. Very 
distinct variety. $1.70 per dozen, $12 per 100. 
Elvira. (4). Bearing on long graceful stems, heads of 3 to 4 large flowers with 
broad white petals of great substance and a golden yellow cup, edged orange, 
delicately fragrant. $1.50 per dozen, $10 per 100. 
POETICUS NARCISSI 
These “Poets’” Narcissi all have snowy white perianth segments or petals, and 
a flattened eye or crown, yellow or lemon, edged more or less deeply with scarlet 
or crimson, and sometimes mostly all scarlet. All are more or less sweetly scented. 
Having very highly colored crowns they should be cut young. 
Horace. (4). Broad snow-white perianth; large cup, almost entirely blood- 
scarlet. Very beautiful; one of the best. Free-flowering and fine for 
forcing. $1.50 per dozen, $10 per 100. 
Cassandra. (4). A noble and gigantic Poeticus, with broad white perianth; 
cup deeply, rimmed dark red. $1.50 per dozen, $10 per 100. 
Homer. (4). One of the strongest in this class, bearing beautiful large flowers 
with snow-white perianth. The golden yellow eye is beautifully margined 
with deep crimson. $1.70 per dozen, $12 per 100. 
Dante. (3). Pure white perianth, cup rimmed red. Earliest of all. $1.15 
per dozen, $8 per 100. 
Recurvus. (5). Narcissi may come and may go, but old “Pheasants Eye” will 
go on forever. In the days of Rome, 2000 years ago, it was revered for its 
beauty and the (supposed) medicinal qualities of the roots. It is the 
parent of many fine hybrids, yet none compare with it in hardiness, stay¬ 
ing qualities and adaptability to many soils and climates. $1.05 per 
dozen, $7.50 per 100. 
Glory of Lisse. (4). Pure white, orange center. Similar to Ornatus, but much 
larger and earlier. $1.50 per dozen, $10 per 100. 
DOUBLE NARCISSI 
Double Sir Watkin. (1). A double form of Sir Watkin having all the qualities 
of that well-known variety and is similar in color. One of the finest intro¬ 
ductions among the double varieties. $3.50 per dozen, $25 per 100. 
Holland’s Glory. (3). A most unusual novelty of great charm and beauty. 
The segments of the perianth grow in a double row, out of which extends a 
trumpet reminding one of a Tea Rose. The peculiar pale lemon tints in 
this flower cause it to be unusually attractive. And, what is best, they are 
long lasting, surpassing in beauty every other double variety. $10 per 
dozen, $75 per 100. 
Cheerfulness. (4). Imagine 2 or 3 small Gardenias on elegantly erect stems 
17 inches high and you have a fair picture of this remarkable novelty. 
The creamy white perianth has broad, round, well-shaped petals, while 
the center consists of creamy yellow petals. The flowers are exquisitely 
scented—and this variety blooms freely! $1.70 per dozen, $12 per 100. 
Argent. (3). This bears star-shaped, semi-double flowers that are borne 
erectly on strong stems. The combinations of creamy white petals and 
yellow center cause it to be most decorative. $1.50 per dozen, $10 per 100.
