We advise all to try at least one of these newer sorts. 
They will be a revelation of unexpected beauty. In form 
and‘color they are perfection itself, while in size they are 
truly gigantic. Last winter we measured a number that 
were fully five inches. May be grown in garden or pots. 
Trumpet Maxim— Medium early. Flower 3J4 inches across. 
Very broad petals, slightly refiexed, and long, heavy 
trumpet. Rich golden yellow. 
Golden Spur —Flower 4J4 to 5 inches across and nearly as 
long. Petals of the perianth broad and smooth, long 
and widely flared trumpet, with deeply frilled and fur¬ 
rowed border. Color, a deep golden yellow. Blooms 
early and flowers last three weeks before fading. 
Horsfle'ldl —An early and remarkably beautiful flower. Of 
the most perfect trumpet form, the trumpet deep yellow, 
and the perianth rich creamy white. Grand for cutting. 
Sir Watkins— Is of the chalice-flower type, or half-trumpet 
form. A gigantic flower, 4 or 5 inches across, with broad 
wing-like petals that shade from canary yellow at;the 
tips to golden yellow at the base. Cup, golden yellow. 
Henry Irving— Fine yellow trumpet with sulphur perianth. 
Great size and beauty. 
Moschatus— A large, beautiful flower of long trumpet 
shape, elegantly poised in a graceful drooping or nod¬ 
ding position. Color pure white with lemon tinge. Per¬ 
fectly exquisite. 
Princeps Major —A large flowering form of the beautiful 
Princeps shown in above cut. Golden with giea-t sul¬ 
phur-white wings. Yery large and an extra early 
bloomer. 
Price 10c. each; any 3 for 25c.; the 7 for 5 oc. 
Narcissus G or bnlata. 
A rarely beautiful flower, both for winter blooming in 
the house or for the garden. Three to six bulbs can be 
planted in an ordinary pot and will produce a charming lot 
of flowers during February and March.. Each bulb bears 3 
or 4 flowers at a time. As will be seen by the cut the blos¬ 
soms are very beautiful in both form and habit; color, a fine 
shade of bright brilliant yellow, and fragrant. In the gar¬ 
den they are hardy and bloom early in the spring. It has 
been called the Golden Fairy Lily, and well does it merit 
the name. 
Colder) Yellow— Rich and beautiful. 
Gltrinum —Lovely citron yellow. 
Clusl— Pure white. New and exquisite. 
PRICE 5c. each; the 3 for m. 
nils. 
are a gleam of gold when in bloom 
and large clumps or masses of them are always admired. 
They are extra fine for pots, from their beautiful color, 
profusion and delightful fragrance, and they flower very 
early in the window. In the garden they are perfectly 
hardy and their lovely and delicious blossoms appear al¬ 
most as soon as the Crocus. Plant a few at least. No gar¬ 
den complete without them. 
Single— Very dainty blossoms of pure gold and such ex¬ 
quisite fragrance. Plant a good lot of them if possible. 
Double —Perfect little golden roses of the most exquisite 
beauty and fragrance. Nothing finer for bouquets. 
Tennoir — (Silver Jonquil). Flowers of good size and 
beautiful shape. A lovely silvery white color with 
orange cup. This very fine variety is hut little known. 
We prize it highly. 
Giant Odorous— We think this one of the finest yellow- 
flowered bulbs on our list. Flowers twice the size of 
other Jonquils, but retaining the same beautiful color 
and handsome shape together with profusion of bloom. 
Its fragrance is lovely beyond description. This bulb is 
so eminently fine and so very cheap every garden should 
be supplied with it. The much prized Golden Sacred 
Lily is an improved variety of this exquisite Jonquil. 
PRICE Ac. each; 1 each of the A for 10c.; any of the sorts at 
40c. per dozen. 
NARCISSUS CORBULATA.
