POETICUS NARCISSI 
These “Poets” Narcissi all have snowy white perianth segments or petals, and 
a flattened eye or crown, yellow or lemon, edged more or less deeply with scarlet 
or crimson, and sometimes mostly all scarlet. All are more or less sweetly scented. 
Having very highly colored crowns they should be cut young. 
Actaea. (4). White perianth of broad and overlapping petals with a flat lemon- 
yellow cup frilled deep red. An outstanding variety; the largest and most 
beautiful of the new Poeticus. Good forcer and wonderful for exhibition. 
$10 per dozen, $75 per 100. 
Horace. (4). Broad snow-white perianth; large cup, almost entirely blood- 
scarlet. Very beautiful; one of the best. Free-flowering and fine for 
forcing. $1.50 per dozen, $10 per 100. 
Cassandra. (4). A noble and gigantic Poeticus, with broad white perianth; 
cup deeply rimmed dark red. $1.50 per dozen, $10 per 100. 
Homer. (4). One of the strongest in this class, bearing beautiful large flowers 
with snow-white perianth. The golden yellow eye is beautifully margined 
with deep crimson. $1.50 per dozen, $10 per 100. 
Dante. (3). Pure white perianth, cup rimmed red. Earliest of all. $1.15 
per dozen, $8 per 100. 
Recurvus. (5). Narcissi may come and may go, but old “Pheasants Eye” will 
go on forever. In the days of Rome, 2000 years ago, it was revered for its 
beauty and the (supposed) medicinal qualities of the roots. 90 cts. per 
dozen, $6 per 100. 
Glory of Lisse. (4). Pure white, orange center. Similar to Ornatus, but much 
larger and earlier. $1.00 per dozen, $7 per 100. 
DOUBLE NARCISSI 
Valencia. (3). Named for the delicious Valencia orange, of sunny Valencia in 
Spain, which it resembles so closely in color, creating a sensation wherever 
shown. Larger and more handsome than the variety Texas it is worthy 
of a special word of praise. A most remarkable and charming novelty of 
exquisite beauty and huge demensions, carried on a strong, tall stem. The 
double rows of perianth segments are composed of long golden yellow petals, 
interspersed with shorter petals of soft orange, giving the flower a most 
aristocratic appearance such as is not found in any other double variety. Of 
great substance and long lasting quality it is a magnificent specimen for 
exhibition purposes and the garden. Selected as the finest and most distinct 
double variety in existence. $8 each.
