(DAFFODILS) 
1 J^'HE first American Daffodil Conference was held in New York in February 1936 and was 
attended by the leading authorities on this subject. Among other things, certain varieties of 
daffodils were recommended as most suitable for American gardens. These varieties are pre¬ 
sented on the following pages and we offer them not only for their aptitude but with the 
additional assurance that every item is the best quality we have been able to procure regardless 
of cost. 
DIVISION I — TRUMPET DAFFODILS 
Trumpet (or crown) as long as or longer 
than the perianth segments 
(Divided in Three Classes) 
CLASS A. ALL YELLOW 
AEROLITE: Here is a golden daffodil that is 
sure to replace many older varieties; the large 
flower is beautifully proportioned, giving the 
impression of gracefulness, despite its size; 
perianth deep primrose with a pure medium 
yellow trumpet which is held in bold relief by 
the broad pointed star formed by the flat open¬ 
ing outer petals, an inch and a half wide; 
medium early but remaining until late, and one 
of the longest lasting daffodils either in the gar¬ 
den or after being cut. See illustration. $1.65 for 
10; $14 per 100. 
DIOTIMA: Considered by many experts the very 
best of the new super-giant yellow Trumpets; 
despite its huge size (perianth being five to six 
inches across) the whole flower is beautifully 
proportioned and is carried gracefully on flat¬ 
tened tapering stems, two feet tall, entirely free 
from the amaryllis-like stiffness of many of the 
giant Trumpets; the broad overlapping petals 
form a star-shaped perianth of medium deep 
primrose, trumpet somewhat more deeply col¬ 
ored; undoubtedly one of the finest. Each, $2.50. 
ALASNAM: Wide, short, densely frilled trumpet 
of pure deep yellow, a shade deeper than the 
perianth; finely placed with good neck, the 
flower "looks you in the eye"; excellent for 
landscape groups; very early. $3.25 for 10; $30 
per 100. 
CLEOPATRA: A splendid flower which has won 
many awards and is well known everywhere; 
very broad lemon-yellow imbricated perianth 
with overlapping petals; long, bold, deep golden 
trumpet; very late. $1.75 for 10; $15 per 100. 
DAWSON CITY: One of the most refined of the 
yellow Trumpets, of merit as a splendid garden 
variety as well as for the exhibition table. Broad, 
flat, overlapping perianth of smooth substance 
with well-formed flanged trumpet of the purest 
golden yellow. $2.75 for 10; $25 per 100. 
EMPEROR: Rich, full, yellow trumpet, deep 
primrose perianth. Splendid for planting in 
masses and for naturalizing. Extra heavy bulbs. 
$.90 for 10; $6.50 per 100. 
w 
LOBULARIS: A pretty miniature daffodil suitable 
for the rock garden, edgings or naturalized in 
short grass. Perianth is sulphur-yellow with a 
trumpet of deeper yellow. Very scarce. $7.50 
for 10; $72.50 per 100. 
LORD WELLINGTON: One of the best of the 
yellow Trumpet daffodils. The enormous flower 
is of rich golden yellow with broad petals, large 
trumpet and carried on a tall strong stem. Tho' 
the flower is very large it is, on account of its 
perfect form, refined in appearance. See illus¬ 
tration. $5.25 for 10; $50 per 100.
