WAySIDE gardens 
Narcissi—Continued. 
ori cjni/la OYi/brids 
Particularly Recommended in This Class is Orange Queen. 
Division 7: Hybrid Jonquils with two or more, small, very fra- 
grant flowers on one stem. 
♦Campernelle, Single. $1.00 per 12; $6.25 per 100. 
A tiny golden Daffodil with tips of pointed grass-like foliage 
reaching above the flowers; the broad overlapping petals make a 
nicely rounded perianth; frequently three blooms on a stalk; a 
delightful little flower. 
Campernelle, Double. $1.30 per 12; $8.50 per 100. 
Two to three golden yellow, small, fragrant flowers on strong 
stems; lovely for cutting. Height 13 inches. 
"'Golden Sceptre. $1.05 per 12; $7.00 per 100. 
A medium-sized perfectly built flower of deep Jonquil-yellow, 3 
inches or more in diameter. The whole flower, as with the others 
in this class, is of the greatest substance, keeping in perfect con¬ 
dition exceptionally long both in the garden and when cut. 
*TulIus Hostilius. $1.75 per 12; $11.25 per 100. 
Of the Jonquil-yellow trumpet type; strong growing flower of 
remarkable substance, lasting exceptionally long in the garden or 
when cut; an ideal Daffodil for informal use and for the large 
rock garden. (Color illustration, page 35). 
Poetaz ^Narcissus 
Particularly Recommended in This Class is Frans Hals. 
Division 8: All Poetaz are hybrids from Poeticus Ornatus and 
Polyanthus Narcissi. The plants are tall and vigorous growers, bear¬ 
ing heads of large, well formed flowers, deliciously fragrant. There 
is no better group for indoor culture in flats, pots or bowls, while if 
planted in time, their hardiness outdoors leaves nothing to be desired. 
Admiration. $2.05 per 12; $13.00 per 100. 
This beautiful cluster-flowered Daffodil is especially lovely in full 
sunlight, as it has a transparent character, but the flowers viewed 
in shade do not look poor or papery. The perianth, which is a 
sulphur-yellow, seems rather to be of the quality of the soft, 
taffeta silk which in the old days was known as “sarsenet,” and 
the petals are slightly ridged lengthwise. The corona is of rich 
orange-scarlet and there are usually about 6 flowers to a stalk. 
Cheerfulness. $2.05 per 12; $13.00 per 100. 
The double Elvira, a very pleasing double white Poetaz, good 
stems, a fine garden and show flower. 
Frans Hals. 80c per 12; $5.75 per 100. 
Creamy white perianth of perfect form, yellow cup, which sparkles 
in the sunlight, exceedingly free flowering. 
♦Laurens Koster. $1.10 per 12; $7.25 per 100. 
Creamy white perianth, lemon-yellow cup, free flowering. (Color 
illustration, page 38). 
Orange Cup. $1.25 per 12; $8.25 per 100. 
Creamy white, conspicuous orange cups, a most delightful color 
combination of plastic rubies floating on sulphur pools, 6 to 8 
florets and usually 2 stems per bulb. Keeps its color in bright 
sunlight positions. 
y?oeticus 
urcissus 
Particularly Recommended in This Class is Rupert Brooke. 
Division 9: Poet’s Narcissi, white petals with scarlet cup. 
Edwina. $3.75 per 12; $25.75 per 100. 
Purest white perianth, broad and overlapping petals, very flat cup, 
yellow edged red. Fine form and substance, highly recommended. 
♦Horace. $1.20 per 12; $8.00 per 100. 
Large, star-shaped perianth, gleaming white broad petals, with 
flat eye, yellow edged red; graceful and free blooming. 
♦Ornatus Maximus. 90c per 12; $6.00 per 100. 
Extremely broad overlapping petals, recurving from typical 
pheasant’s eye cup; a larger Ornatus, unsurpassed for naturalizing. 
♦Recurvus. ^ 90c per 12; $6.00 per 100. 
The old Pheasant’s Eye. Perianth pure white, somewhat reflexing; 
cup margined deep scarlet; sweet scented. Fine for massing in 
borders or in grass. 
Rupert Brooke. $2.30 per 12; $14.50 per 100. 
One of the finest of the new Poeticus varieties, beautifully pro¬ 
portioned; small pheasant's-eye, reddish cup. This variety was 
introduced by Englehart in 1927 and is still considered one of the 
best new varieties. 
^Double ^Narcissus 
Particularly recommended in this class is The Pearl. 
Division 10: 
♦Albus Plenus Odoratus. $1.05 per 12; $7.00 per 100. 
The old Gardenia-flowered Double Poet's Narcissus. Pure snowy 
white; wonderfully fragrant. Should be planted in the shade and 
kept well watered at flowering time to prevent the flower buds 
from drying off. Blooms extremely late, long after most of the 
Narcissus have gone. It is a rare old variety preserved jealously 
in a few old gardens and worth special care. 
Dubloon. $1.05 per 12; $7.00 per 100. 
Longer petals of primrose, interspersed with shorter petals of 
canary-yellow, giving a golden glow to the entire flower. 
Indian Chief. $2.30 per 12; $14.50 per 100. 
Very large and very double, bright yellow interspersed with or¬ 
ange; the petals curled and twisted. A large substantial almost 
globelike ball of yellow and orange. 
Mary Copeland. $1.50 each. 
One of the famous varieties of the new doubles. This va¬ 
riety has been termed the most striking double in cultivation; the 
longer petals are pure cream-white with a golden ray down the 
center, interspersed with shorter petals of lemon and brilliant or¬ 
ange, giving a three-color effect; unsurpassed for garden or show. 
(Color illustration, page 37). 
Snowsprite. $2.05 per 12; $13.00 per 100. 
A double Leedsi; flowers borne on tall stems; pure white, inter¬ 
spersed with very light lemon; a novelty and a good florist’s flow¬ 
er, extremely late. 
♦The Pearl. $1.40 per 12; $9.00 per 100. 
Nice flower; not too double, creamy white, interspersed with sul¬ 
phur-yellow, deeper at the center; charming. (Color illustration, 
page 38)-. 
♦Twink. $2.60 per 12; $17.25 per 100. 
It is double, of the semi-full type, the petals alternating a soft 
primrose and clear orange, and so arranged as to give the flower 
a most attractive appearance, and making it a most adaptable flow¬ 
er for large scale decorative work; is very free flowering and 
hardy. (Color illustration, page 43). 
^[?aper= 74 ^/lite ^Narcissus 
5 ?ohjcinthus ^Varcissns 
Dishes of these, grown in pebbles and water, may be had in bloom 
continuously from Thanksgiving until Easter. The best method is 
to keep your bulbs in the containers in which they are shipped to you 
and to store them in a moderately cool, dry place. Plant different 
lots every three weeks from October 1st until March 1st, and you can 
enjoy a constant succession of bloom. 
Paper-White Grandiflora. 
The popular bunch-flowering, pure white Narcissus, frequently 
having 30 individual blooms and splendid decorative foliage from 
a single bulb. We offer 2 sizes, each suitable for growing indoors 
in pebbles and water. 
♦First size bulbs. 60c per 12; $4.50 per 100; $40.00 per 1000. 
♦Jumbo bulbs. 85c per 12; $6.00 per 100; $55.00 per 1000. 
Golden Yelloio ^Narcissus 
(Soleil d’Or) 
Soleil d’Or resembles the Paper-White Narcissus very much in 
habit but is of an exquisite deep yellow color, with an orange-yellow 
cup. The culture is the same as for the Paper-White Narcissus. We 
have some very fine stock of this variety to meet the steadily increased 
demand of the past few seasons and recommend its use in place of 
the Chinese Sacred Lily. Do not omit a few bulbs from your order. 
♦Soleil d’Or. Top size, $2.00 per 12; $12.50 per 100.
