NARCISSUS / DAFFODILS 
JONQUILS 
The terms “Narcissus” and “Daffodils” are interchange¬ 
able; there exists a tendency to apply the name “Daffodil” 
to the varieties in which the trumpet or crown is as large 
or larger than the petals (perianth); while the name “Nar¬ 
cissus” is usually used for the varieties having small cups 
or crowns. Jonquils are also a type of Narcissus; they 
usually bear their flowers in clusters and have rush-like 
foliage. Many of the hybrids have only the single flower 
and ordinary foliage. The name “Narcissus” is correct for 
any or all of the different types. 
Since the Narcissus Embargo of 1926, Western Washing¬ 
ton has become the center of the Daffodil growing industry 
of America. There are many reasons for this, chief of 
which is the ideal climate for the growing of bulbous stocks. 
The mild winters and cool summers make for perfect grow¬ 
ing and curing of the bulbs. Bulbs of a higher quality can 
be grown on the fertile valley lands of Western Washing¬ 
ton, to a better advantage than anywhere else in the world. 
This fact is now recognized by leading seedsmen and 
greenhouses throughout America. Pacific Northwest Daf¬ 
fodils excel all others for greenhouse forcing, both for size 
of bloom and for early flowering. 
The rigid inspection given all bulbs by the State Depart¬ 
ment of Agriculture is your guarantee that only sound,
