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. U. 
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 
pleasant hobby.
