The past few years have seen tremendous progress in the develop- 
ment of the Daffodil. Magnificent new varieties are now available 
and if you are a lover of Daffodils may we suggest you plant a few 
bulbs of such kinds as Lord Louis Mountbatten, Lovenest, Mrs. R. O. 
I Backhouse, John Evelyn, Loudspeaker or Moonshine. Many of our 
friends are growing some, selling the yearly increase to acquaintances, 
making a handsome profit on their investment as well as having a 
I pleasant hobby.

asked us: “Is this the White King Alfred?” That question con¬ 
veys quite satisfactorily the impression its flowers make. The 
pristine purity of this regal flower, the play of light on its bal¬

forgettable. An excellent grower. Easy to force, long-stemmed. 
Has no rival at the shows.
