Dick Wellband. $2.50 each. 
The perianth is pure white and the cup a brilliant flame-orange. 
One of its most remarkable qualities is that the color does not 
fade but rather intensifies with age. The flower has unusual last¬ 
ing qualities. Its greatest beauty lies in the startling contrast be¬ 
tween petals and cup which makes it stand out even in the largest 
collection of Daffodils. An exhibition variety “par excellence.”

This is undoubtedly the most wonderful flower of recent intro¬ 
duction. It is a Giant Incomparabilis of the largest size, perfect 
form, and gorgeous color on a 2-foot stem; fine flat overlapping 
perianth of great substance which stands boldly at right angles 
to the crown, of clear deep lemon-gold color with long bold 
crown of wonderful glowing coppery red-orange. It is of great 
substance, vigorous and very lasting—free bloomer.

and a half wide, and tinted gold at the base, which shows through 
on the outside; the cup, wide and deep, is golden yellow at the 
base, changing gradually to flame-orange at the densely frilled 
edge; the flowers are held well above the fine foliage and give the

to base and with a double frill effect at edge, is yellow, shading

*Helios. $3.75 per 12; $25.75 per 100. 
A most refined flower. Creamy yellow perianth, star-shaped; 
pale orange cup, slightly frilled. A deliciously beautiful variety 
a clump of which placed near an evergreen would make an un¬ 
usually interesting picture. Very early. 
*John Evelyn. $4.80 per 12; $36.75 per 100. 
Outstanding among the new Incomparabilis hybrids; flatly open¬ 
ing perianth, 4 to 5 inches across, with a flat cup nearly 2 inches
