Marshall’s NARCISSI 
Daffodils are an indispensable factor in the pageant of spring 
floral beauty, and whether grown as specimens in the garden 
borders or planted “au naturel” in woodland or glade, each bios- 
som seems a concentrated gleam of golden sunshine. Absolutely 
hardy, they increase in beauty and siz,e, year after year. Our list 
has been carefully compiled and contains all that is best in these 
splendid bulbs. 
The Incomparabilis varieties are crosses between yellow Trum¬ 
pets and Poeticus, with larger crowns than the Barri types. 
The Barri types have crowns usually not over one-third the 
length of the perianth petals. 
The Leedsi varieties always have white perianth petals and the 
crowns are mostly white or light yellow. 
The Poetaz kinds have a bunch of flowers on each stem and 
are very fragrant. 
(The prices quoted below are for the very largest bulbs).
