ROCKERY DAFFODILS ( Continued ) 
Per 100 
TRIANDRUS ALBUS. The “Angels’ Tears” of old Portugal. 
Creamy white bells which point down while the sharply recurved 
petals point upwards. Flowers are about inch long on 6 inch 
stems. Prefers gritty soil between rocks. Requires a little care, but 
its grace and delicate beauty fully reward the patient gardener. $8.00 
TRIANDRUS THALIA. In addition to a peculiar attraction at first 
sight, this flower leaves a wish for something that seems missing. 
One can’t say what it is, and yet one feels decidedly that a mysterious 
want exists. Is it the whiteness that is not white, or the recurving 
petals and the angle of the three short trumpets, so unlike the conven¬ 
tional type? Or the dark green round reed-like stem? Some call it 
the “orchid flowered” Daffodil, which adds to the mystery. Why 
“orchid flowered?” . 10.00 
THE PEARL. Double rows of silvery petals interlaced with Camper- 
nel yellow. A friendly open flowerlet, sweetly perfumed. A whisper 
of grace and loveliness. Very hardy. 4.00 
WILLIAM GOLDRING. (Swan’s Neck Daffodil.) Pale primrose 
passing off white. Gracefully drooping flowers of medium size, 
blooming early . 20.00 
W. P. MILNER. Miniature white trumpet and perianth. Eminently 
satisfactory for rockeries because it seldom fails to establish itself and 
to bloom generously for years. Only 10 inches high. Exceedingly 
attractive when forced in small bowls. Endowed with the fragrance 
of the Cowslip. Very free-flowering. 9.00 
MIXTURE. This is an opportunity. A real good blend of dwarf 
types and species. 4.50

Dear Sir: 
In J. E. E’s. notes, “Florist Review,” March 12th, I read of your 
infection from bulb crystals. For a friend in New York I wrote to 
Holland for a remedy and received the advice to cover infected spots 
with a thin layer of “Unguentum Simplex” which any druggist can 
compound for you by mixing 
30% yellow wax 
70% sesamy 
No bandages are necessary. Our friend tried this and finds it an 
effective remedy. If the skin over the fingernails is inflamed, a 
simple occurrence, it can be relieved by applying a 5% solution of 
iodine with a small brush, allowing the fluid to soak in under the 
skin. 
If you find this advice beneficial, you might pass the information 
along. 
Very truly yours,
