"Lonely the wind walked yesterday 
Across an empty world and gray, 
Drifting the stars throughout the night. 
Lo! This morning they alight, 
Gay daffodils for our delight.”

No one who has not seen these magnificent and imposing 
flowers can have any conception of their sumptuous beauty. 
ALASNAM, early, tall, vigorous, with its huge flower of warm 
self-yellow, follows—sometimes precedes— KING ALFRED. MAT- 
AMAX, the latest to bloom, WHISTLER, midseason, and APOTH¬ 
EOSIS, late, are all marvels of size, quality and purity of color. 
EMPEROR, so well known and beloved, while not in the class 
of these giants, has never been superseded by them and has its 
own distinctive charm. 
There are three additions to our list this year—all of out¬ 
standing excellence. WARWICK, very early, unbelievably lasting, 
has both trumpet and perianth of a glowing, rich gold. It is a 
seedling of King Alfred, but a vast improvement on its dis¬ 
tinguished parent. AEROLITE is early in blooming, but remains 
in good condition when most midseason varieties are nearly over. 
It has a large flower, with good proportion, good color and rare 
finish. DAWSON City is a valuable acquisition. Its broad, over¬ 
lapping perianth and finely formed and proportioned cup are a 
uniform, soft yellow.

Not every bicolor is happy in our American conditions, and 
we admit into our small list only those we can present without 
reservation. JEFTA is the first to bloom. It is very tall and its 
beautiful flower has a lemon-colored trumpet and clear, white 
perianth. AEOLUS blooms directly after JEFTA and is followed 
by MRS. JOHN HOOG, which is technically an Incomparabilis, 
but with the appearance and characteristics of a trumpet, and we 
therefore place it in this list. It is a fine thing, and we highly 
recommend it. GLORY OF SASSENHEIM has never lost its de¬ 
served popularity. The latest bicolor to bloom is SYLVANITE— 
a striking new variety, with broad, overlapping perianth of 
creamy white and canary-yellow trumpet—strong and vigorous, 
but graceful in habit. We are offering for the first time MOIRA 
O'NEIL of recent English origination. It is very splendid, early, 
free-flowering, with clear yellow trumpet and fine white perianth.
