Poeticus, Horace 
The Poet's Narcissus 
Narcissus Poeticus 
Division 9. This class of Narcissus, in¬ 
stead of having a trumpet or crown, has a 
small, wide-mouthed cup. They are very 
hardy, and are used in large numbers for 
naturalizing, their simplicity of form and the 
refined character of their blooms making 
them excellent flowers for cutting for home 
decoration. 
CASSANDRA. Broad perianth of pure 
white, with an outstanding eye of canary- 
yellow, rimmed bright red. One of the 
largest Poeticus. 15 cts. each, $1.50 per 
doz., $10 per 100. 
GLORY OF LISSE. Bright-red-rimmed 
cup, standing out remarkably against the 
broad, pure white, overlapping perianth 
petals. 10 cts. each, $1 per doz., $7.50 per 
100. 
HORACE. This variety, like Cassandra, is 
one of the better types of the Poet’s Nar¬ 
cissus. Perianth pure white; cup canary- 
yellow, rimmed bright red. 15 cts. each, 
$1.50 per doz., $10 per 100. 
ORNATUS. Pure white flowers; saffron cup, 
tinged rosy scarlet. Larger than the old 
original Poeticus, and earlier in bloom. 
10 cts. each, $1 per doz., $7.50 per 100. 
PHEASANT’S EYE. The original late- 
flowering Pheasant’s Eye variety popular 
for gardens and naturalizing. Pure white 
flowers with orange cup, edged red. 10 cts. 
each, $1 per doz., $7.50 per 100. 
Tazetta and Tazetta 
Hybrids 
Division 8. Under this class of Narcissus 
we have two very popular types—Tazetta or 
the original Bunch-flowering Narcissus which 
can be grown in the house in pebbles and 
water, such as the Paper-White, Chinese 
Sacred, and Grand Soleil d’Or listed on the 
following page, and the increasingly popular 
hybrid type known as Poetaz, which are 
now extensively planted in gardens on ac¬ 
count of the mass effect of their blooms. 
STUMPP & WALTER CO. 
Bulbocodium conspicuus and Triandrus albus Poetaz, Orange Cup 
Poetaz 
The Hardy Cluster- 
flowered Poet’s Narcissus 
Miniature Daffodils 
The chief characteristic of this type of 
Narcissus is that hybridizers by crossing the 
strong-scented Polyanthus varieties with the 
Poeticus type, developed a hardy strain of 
Daffodils which has the bunch-flowered 
character of the Polyanthus with larger 
flowers similar to the Poet’s described on this 
page. They are excellent for pot culture and 
are splendid for the garden border. 
ADMIRATION. Attractive all-yellow 
Poetaz; lemon-yellow perianth with nicely 
contrasting orange cup. An older variety 
but very good. 20 cts. each, $2 per doz., 
$15 per 100. 
ASPASIA. Perianth pure white, with soft 
yellow eye; three or four flowers on a stem. 
10 cts. each, $1 per doz., $7.50 per 100. 
GLORIOUS. Pure white, broad, overlap¬ 
ping petals, with really brilliant scarlet 
cup. Free-flowering. Recommended as the 
finest Poetaz in cultivation. Tall and 
robust in the garden; excellent for forcing. 
$3 each. 
IDEAL. Perianth pure white, with a dark 
orange eye; three or four flowers on a stem. 
Greatly admired because of the striking 
contrast of the dark orange eye. 15 cts. 
each, $1.50 per doz., $10 per 100. 
KLONDYKE. Perianth pure bright yellow, 
with golden yellow eye. Vigorous and 
remarkably free-flowering. This is probably 
the most useful yellow-flowered Poetaz 
type, holding its color without fading as 
much as the other yellow types of this class. 
15 cts. each, $1.50 per doz., $10 per 100. 
LAURENS KOSTER. Perianth pure white, 
with soft yellow eye. Robust growers, and 
probably the best of the older varieties for 
general garden planting. 10 cts. each, $1 
per doz., $7.50 per 100. 
MAJESTIC. Bright yellow cup, making a 
nice contrast with the finely formed snowy 
white perianth. 15 cts. each, I1.50 per doz., 
$10 per 100. 
ORANGE CUP. A really bright, sunny 
Poetaz. Perianth even yellow; cup bright 
orange. Greatly admired by all. 10 cts. 
each, $1 per doz., $7.50 per 100. 
for the Rock-Garden 
Division 11. Several of the botanical 
species of Daffodils are very tiny, making the 
rock-garden the logical place to use them. 
For this purpose they are ideal. In addition 
to the varieties listed below, we suggest the 
use of Division 5, the Triandrus and Triandrus 
Hybrids (page 8), and Division 6, the Cycla- 
mineus and Cyclamineus Hybrids (page 8) 
as especially suited for rock-garden planting. 
BULBOCODIUM CITRINUS. The large 
sulphur Hoop Petticoat. Charming pale 
citron-yellow flowers, growing not over 
8 inches tall. Prefers a damp, sandy, peat 
soil. The grassy foliage of this and the 
next variety appears in late autumn and 
remains green all winter, but no harm is 
done if the tips are browned by frost. 
20 cts. each, $2 per doz., $15 per 100. 
BULBOCODIUM CONSPICUUS. The yel¬ 
low Hoop Petticoat. Rich golden yellow 
blooms, with rush-like foliage, growing 
6 inches tall. Begins to bloom in late 
February. Prefers a damp, sandy, peat 
soil; withhold moisture in summer. 15 cts. 
each, $1.75 per doz., $12 per 100. 
GLITTER. This delightful subject for the 
rock-garden resembles in type the Poeti¬ 
cus Narcissus. Perianth and cup are deep¬ 
est golden yellow, with glittering red 
edges. The flowers are borne on stems 
8 inches high. An excellent variety for the 
rock-garden. 15 cts. each, $1.50 per doz., 
$12 per 100. 
W. P. MILNER. Low-growing, pure white 
Trumpet, very free-flowering, and highly 
recommended for rock-gardens and natu¬ 
ralizing. 30 cts. each, $3 per doz., $20 
per 100.

Gardens. See page 8
