THE BLUE BOOK OF BULBS 
TENNYSON. Poeticus. Large flower, with pure white perianth 
of rounded form and thick substance; large eye of Iemon- 
yellow, edged wine-red. A very distinct flower of perfect 
character; perhaps the finest Poeticus yet raised. Height 16 
in. Single bulb, $5. 
THELMA. Poeticus. 4. Snowy white perianth, with closely 
overlapping petals of splendid substance; large cup, light 
yellow, with narrow edge of bright crimson. A very large 
flower, noteworthy for the fine color in the cup. Height 15 in. 
10 bulbs, $2.40; 100 bulbs, $22. 
VAN DYCK. Yellow Trumpet. 1. Rich golden yellow; broad 
trumpet, with open mouth. A very striking flower, splendid 
for outdoor planting or for naturalizing. A most perfect shape 
among early Daffodils. Height 14 in. 10 bulbs, 55 cts.; 100 
bulbs, $4.50; 1,000 bulbs, $38. 
VANILLE. Bicolor Trumpet. 2. Spreading, creamy white 
perianth, with rather narrow, pointed petals; bright yellow 
trumpet well expanded at the brim. This variety is noteworthy 
because it has a strong vanilla-like perfume. Height 16 in. 10 
bulbs, 60 cts.; 100 bulbs, $5.25; 1,000 bulbs, $47. 
VAN SION; syn., TELAMONIUS PLENUS. Double Trumpet. 
2. Golden yellow; the most popular Double Trumpet Daffodil 
for forcing. Outdoors, Van Sions are very green the second 
year after planting, there being something in our soil or 
climate which affects the color of this Daffodil. Height 13 in. 
Strong mother bulbs only. 10 bulbs, 50 cts.; 100 bulbs, $4.25; 
1,000 bulbs, $35. 
VAN WAVEREN’S GIANT. Bicolor Trumpet. 1. Broad prim¬ 
rose perianth of campanulate form; bright yellow trumpet, 
with very large, open mouth, flanged at brim. A gigantic 
flower, after the style of Emperor, the forerunner of a new 
race of Giant Trumpet Daffodils. The very largest Trumpet 
variety in cultivation, though without the refinement of some 
smaller sorts. In strong soil it grows over 2 feet high, with 
foliage like that of an iris. Single bulbs, 60 cts.; 10 bulbs, 
$4.50. 
VICTORIA. Bicolor Trumpet. 3. Broad, creamy white peri¬ 
anth, with closely lapping petals; clear, rich yellow trumpet,

unsurpassed for forcing. Height 16 in. 10 bulbs, 55 cts.; 100 
bulbs, $4.50; 1,000 bulbs, $40.
