HE NARCISSI shown on the page at the left are selections from 
that excellent list of daffodils which have stood the test of long 
years of garden use ; have proved their worth in hardiness and 
vigor ; as reliable and generous bloomers and most satisfying in the 
matter of coloring, whether in the garden or for cutting, being 
always in harmony with other garden material of the season. 
White Queen and Lucifer are larger and have larger cups than the others. 
All are of the “starry" type now so much used for naturalizing, since we are 
coming to appreciate the beauty of small flowers that retain something of the 
primitive daintiness of wildlings for that purpose. 
In the red cup section we offer Barrii Conspicuus, yellow perianth with bril¬ 
liant scarlet cup; Blood Orange, deep yellow with cup of flame, early. 
Lucifer, larger flower of delicate creamy perianth and deep cup of flaming- 
scarlet. These are particularly good for shady situations where the brilliant 
coloring of their cups will longer endure. 
Thelma, of true poeticus type ; Ariadne, small cupped, fragrant, pure white ; 
Maid of Athens, white with flaring- cup of sulphur with pale gold edge, are all 
free blooming and delicately lovely for any purpose. 
Autocrat is included in our special list as it is especially good to naturalize, 
being an improvement on the natural incomparabilis, with all its wildling 
grace and beauty retained. It is one of the most useful for cutting; an ex¬ 
tremely long keeper and, in common with all the above varieties, superlatively 
good in the small garden. 
The tulip selections shown at the right are all high class, desirable varieties. 
Ellen Wilmott is an exceptionally beautiful cottage variety, of pale primrose 
yellow; of graceful shape, with a peculiar curve in the petals that causes it to 
remain partly closed for days after it is fully colored. It is an extra long keeper 
and blooms late. 
Klopstock is a breeder, bluish violet, in soft shades that combine well with 
cither pink or the bronze shades. 
Golden Bronze is also a breeder, of typical form, its color exactly described 
by its name. 
Clara Butt, the well known pink Darwin, is best described by our excellent 
illustration. 
Faust, also a Darwin ; of tall massive form and a rich warm dark coloring 
that has too much life to be called a “black" tulip although it is very dark. 
English Iris, of which we show three in color, are peculiarly interesting be 
cause of their large size and late blooming. 
Fascination has true orchid coloring. 
Electra is clear delicate light blue with occasional flames of orchid. 
Surprise is dark velvety bluish purple, very late. 
Rosa Bonheur is white with flames of rosy mauve ; cream throat under bar 
of gold. 
Bleu Celeste is deep sky blue, long stem, very large flower, last to bloom. 
Tri-color is soft blue with white center. Standards amethyst, very large 
and vigorous. 
Tigridia. Most brilliant and effective of all the summer flowering bulbs. 
Planted in early April, the bloom begins in late June and continues until actual 
winter conditions prevail. In well drained soil where shelter and some protec¬ 
tion from extreme cold may lie provided (such as a deep mulch of leaf mold or 
peat) the bulbs may be left in the ground.
